442 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The six-story residential building at 442 East 13th Street in the East Village, owned by Drew Popkin, was completed in 2017 and consists of 6 units. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three complaints in August 2023 and one in January 2024, including an August 2023 violation for scalding hot water exceeding 130°F in Apartment 5.

During the building's early occupancy period in 2019-2020, there were significant construction compliance issues, including multiple violations related to construction safety and occupancy without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, resulting in a $6,250 fine. These violations were eventually resolved, with the building receiving all necessary permits between 2018-2021, including final approvals in early 2021. The building has maintained a good record regarding pests, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years (2021-2025), and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025.

Regular rodent inspections have shown no issues, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 showing a "Passed" status. While there have been several 311 complaints and Department of Buildings inspections over the years, most have resulted in "No Violation Warranted" determinations, particularly for construction-related complaints during 2019-2020. The building's management has complied with bedbug reporting requirements consistently since 2019, with annual filings showing no infestations or related issues.
