271 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement at 271 East 10th Street, owned by James Demetriou, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns revolving around heat and water systems. In October 2024, both building-wide and apartment-specific heat/hot water complaints emerged, with the building-wide issue particularly concerning as it was classified as an emergency.
Similar heat-related complaints had been documented in previous years, including a November 2023 emergency mold complaint that remained open for nearly three months. The building also faced significant sanitation challenges, with multiple reports of mold (September and November 2023), and a period of rodent activity in 2022, though recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have consistently passed. The building has had various other maintenance issues requiring attention, including an open violation from September 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors at the north door to the rear yard on the first story, and a 2024 violation regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements.
While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2025, recent complaints suggest ongoing concerns about environmental conditions. A 2022 complaint regarding chemical vapors or gases remains in progress as of October 2023. The property appears to have undergone regular rodent inspections since 2022, showing some improvement in pest control measures, though earlier inspections in 2022-2023 had documented rat activity.
