119 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 6-story New Law Tenement building at 119 St Marks Place in the East Village, owned by Eric Borkowski, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most concerning is an ongoing food poisoning complaint filed in March 2025 that remains in progress as of the current date. The building has faced recurring plumbing issues, with radiator and steam pipe complaints in 2025 and late 2024 respectively, though inspections either gained no access or found no violations.
A notable cluster of safety concerns emerged in 2024, including violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and unsanitary conditions involving pests, for which two separate inspections confirmed violations in 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent pest issues, with multiple violations and service requests related to rodents and insects between 2022 and 2024, though recent rodent inspections in 2025 yielded mixed results, with both rat activity and compliance passed. More recent inspections from 2024-2025 have revealed several open violations, including mold conditions in a bathroom ceiling and wall in Apartment 6, a key-operated lock on the fire escape window in Apartment 6, and various issues in Apartment 2 including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The building has also undergone multiple Department of Buildings inspections with varying outcomes, including one in October 2024 regarding boiler issues where access was denied, and an August 2023 inspection for exhaust issues with similar access problems. Bedbug reports from 2018-2024 consistently show zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The property's violation history is extensive but shows some recent improvements, with several violations being addressed and closed between 2023 and 2025, though many remain open as of the current date. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance activities, with multiple permits issued for various work between 2018 and 2019, though there are no recent permits on record.
