275 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story tenement building at 275 East 10th Street in the East Village, owned by Zenon Chernyk, has a mixed history dating back to its 1910 construction. The property, classified as an OLD LAW TENEMENT with 20 units, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years.

Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in January 2019, and pest-related problems in 2021, including violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for unsanitary conditions and roach infestation specifically in apartment 10. That same unit also received a violation for self-closing door requirements in March 2021. The building had two active violations in November 2019 related to failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, though these appear to have been resolved by 2023 when no such violations are currently noted.

Recent inspections show improved conditions in terms of bedbug management, with the most recent filings (2022, 2023, and 2024) reporting zero infested units, and all rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have passed successfully. The building had two complaints filed with the Department of Buildings in late 2020 regarding potential issues with debris and work being done without permits, though inspections did not warrant violations in either case. While the property has experienced periodic maintenance challenges, the most recent records indicate consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and successful rodent control measures, suggesting improved management practices over time.
