259 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

259 East 10th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Justin Hollander and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring issues with pest control, particularly rodents, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and departmental inspections between 2022 and 2025. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 indicate improved conditions, with passed results and only occasional rat activity reported in 2024.

The property has faced several maintenance challenges, including multiple heating and hot water complaints in 2022, some designated as emergencies, though many were closed due to lack of access for inspection. Building maintenance issues documented in 2022 include problems with doors, windows, plumbing, and sanitation conditions, with some violations addressed through repair work completed by April 2022. In terms of safety and building integrity, violations have been recorded regarding fire safety materials in public halls (2021), though these were subsequently corrected.

The building's boiler system appeared to have faced scrutiny in 2022, and there was a chimneysweep requirement noted in 2022 that was resolved without penalty. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2018, with no reported cases in the annual filings. While the property has had recurring pest issues over the years, recent inspections and treatments suggest improved conditions, with the most recent rodent control measures showing positive results. Environmental Health inspections have generally passed, though there have been some administrative closures of complaints indicating successful resolution of reported conditions.
