135 Avenue A, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 31-unit building at 135 Avenue A in the East Village, owned by Shane Rajcooar, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most significant being recurring heat and hot water outages documented through multiple emergency complaints in January 2024 and again in January 2025. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect these complaints during each incident. Additional notable recent issues include an elevator service interruption in January 2025, a building shaking/vibrating complaint in February 2025 (which resulted in no violations), and an electrical wiring complaint in December 2023 that inspectors could not access.
The building underwent demolition-related work in late 2024 that resulted in multiple violations against DMA Contracting Inc for unsafe practices, though these have since been resolved. Despite these issues, there are some positive developments regarding building maintenance. The property has maintained consistent rodent control, passing multiple inspections between 2022 and 2025, including inspections in February 2025, August 2024, and April 2023.
The building has reported zero bedbug infestations in its most recent annual filings from 2022 through 2024. Historical records show persistent issues with heat and hot water, with similar complaints dating back to 2024, and recurring violations for failing to file energy benchmarking reports between 2020 and 2021. The building also had a heating system violation in 2022 that was resolved. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple work permits issued between 2021 and 2022 for various repairs, including electrical work, though the specific nature of these repairs is not detailed in the records provided.
