205 Avenue A, Manhattan, NY 10009
Located in the East Village, 205 Avenue A is a 6-story, 9-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Perry Roth. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in February 2023, and previous similar complaints in January 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections in late 2024 revealed multiple door-related violations requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors at the building entrance and public hall, though these violations were certified as corrected by late 2024.
The property underwent a significant environmental review in 2024, receiving citations for occupancy violations related to unauthorized roof modifications, including recreational space and a fence installation, though these violations have since been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicating no infestations. Regular rodent inspections between 2019 and 2025 have all passed, demonstrating successful pest management.
The property has seen several Department of Buildings complaints regarding access issues for inspections (in 2023 and 2024) and concerns about construction work contrary to approved plans, though most of these matters were ultimately closed without penalties. While the building has maintained reasonable compliance with housing maintenance codes overall, the pattern of heat issues and door violations suggests areas requiring ongoing monitoring. The building has maintained its bedbug-free status during the past four reporting periods, and regular rodent inspections have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management practices.
