254 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 254 East 10th Street building is a 6-story, 25-unit Class A residential property built in 1990, currently owned by Rosemarie Caiola. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues in recent years, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2024 regarding slow leaks and mold conditions, though no violations were found upon HPD inspections.

A concerning pattern of heat and hot water problems emerged during late 2018, with multiple emergency complaints spanning October to December, suggesting temporary system failures during that period. More recently, in 2024, two notable violations were recorded for unauthorized construction work in the basement, resulting in fines totaling $7,500, though one of these was rescinded before the penalty was applied. The building's maintenance record shows active bedbug management, with confirmed infestations in 2024 and 2023, though both were reportedly eradicated.

An important positive note is the building's consistent pass rate on rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2020 through 2025 showing satisfactory results. Additionally, there is one active violation from 2019 regarding a failure to perform a Category 5 inspection, representing the sole remaining unresolved issue as of this review. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of urban apartment buildings, particularly regarding water systems and occasional pest management, it has generally shown prompt response to emergency situations and maintained regulatory compliance in recent years, particularly in terms of rodent control.
