95 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10009

95 St Marks Place is a 4-story, 50-unit residential building located in the East Village, dating back to 1900 and currently owned by John Ilibassi. The property has experienced persistent pest management challenges, most notably a recurring rodent infestation issue, with multiple complaints and inspection results indicating rat activity throughout 2024 and into 2025, though most recent inspections in 2025 have shown improvements with "Passed" results. The building has also faced periodic heat and hot water issues, particularly during the winter months of 2021-2022, with multiple emergency complaints registered between November 2021 and February 2022.

The property has undergone several significant incidents regarding building safety and maintenance. In 2022, there were violations noted for encumbering fire escape egress with flower pots on third-story balconies and defective fire retardant materials in the public hall. That same year, the building faced issues with unauthorized modifications, including an illegal additional bedroom and interior partition in Apartment 2 on the first floor, which resulted in building violations.

The Department of Buildings has conducted regular tenant safety inspections in 2020, confirming compliance each time. Most recently, the building has shown improved maintenance practices, as evidenced by clean bedbug reports for the past two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) with no infested units reported, and successful rodent inspections in early 2025. The property has also passed multiple rodent inspections during 2023-2025, indicating some progress in addressing previous pest management challenges.
