249 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

249 East 10th Street is a 5-story, 19-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jupiter 10 LLC, located in New York City's East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced ongoing moisture-related issues, with multiple water leak complaints filed between 2024 and 2025, including both slow and heavy flow leaks. A significant cluster of complaints in September 2024 included issues with mold, ceiling paint/plaster damage, and safety concerns regarding a door closure mechanism in the 5th story.

The building has also faced several administrative challenges, including multiple active violations related to failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent being issued in September 2024. While there was a heat and hot water outage reported in late 2019 affecting the entire building, this was resolved quickly according to HPD records. The property has demonstrated consistent pest management oversight, passing multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, though there were indications of rat activity noted in January 2023.

The building's maintenance records show regular attention to permitted works, with several construction-related permits issued between 2019 and 2023 for both plumbing and electrical work, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years (2019-2025), indicating successful pest management in this regard. Despite these concerns, the building has maintained compliance with recent rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections in 2025 and demonstrating proactive management of vermin control.
