432 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

432 East 13th Street is a 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by M&e 432 E. 13th Llc. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly notable in December 2024 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both building-wide and individual apartment systems.

This pattern continued into 2025, with additional complaints in January 2025 and another heat-related issue reported in June 2025. The building has also faced significant pest control challenges, with recent Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints in June 2025 regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues (currently in progress) and multiple rat activity inspections and bait applications throughout 2025. The property has shown some infrastructure maintenance concerns, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints between late 2024 and early 2025. These include problems with self-closing doors, illegal locking mechanisms at entrance points, and security system maintenance issues.

Notably, in 2024, there were multiple violations concerning hot water delivery in apartments 26 and 28 that were eventually certified as corrected. The building's rodent control efforts appear to be ongoing, with bait applications and compliance inspections continuing throughout 2025. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with reports from 2019-2024 showing minimal activity, though a single incident was noted in 2019. Additionally, there has been one active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection documentation.
