264 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

264 East 10th Street is a four-story, seven-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Dylan Pichulik. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with recent complaints in May 2023 leading to violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

A similar pattern of pest problems occurred in October 2018, along with complaints about mold, door issues, and paint/plaster problems, some of which resulted in HPD violations. The building underwent a significant inspection in July 2023, revealing multiple violations requiring attention: these included defective fire-retardant materials in public hall walls, maintenance issues in Apartment 2 (including ceramic floor tiles, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors), and problems with self-closing doors at building entrances.

The property has a history of management challenges, evidenced by multiple complaints regarding illegal hotel room operations in late 2018, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation for offering permanent dwelling units for other than permanent purposes. However, recent records show improvement in pest management, with the most recent Bedbug Reporting filings from 2021 to 2025 indicating no infested or re-infested dwelling units. The building has also passed all recent rodent inspections conducted in 2023 and 2024, though it did fail one inspection in January 2023 for "Other Reasons." While the building has had various maintenance and safety issues over the years, recent improvements in rodent control and the absence of bedbug infestations suggest some progress in building management.
