195 Avenue A, Manhattan, NY 10009
195 Avenue A is a 6-story, 40-unit New Law tenement building located in the East Village, owned by David Jacobson and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed and verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though most were resolved promptly with heat and hot water restored.
More recently, in 2025, there was a rat sighting that resulted in an inspection finding minor violations, and inspections throughout the past few years have shown intermittent rodent activity, though the most recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building has several active violations as of 2024-2025, including concerns about smoke and carbon monoxide detector functionality in apartments 4G and 5G, and issues with self-closing doors in various apartments. There have been multiple complaints about work done without proper permits, including a 2024 inspection citing unpermitted bathroom and electrical work in apartments 3E and 4E, though previous complaints about work without permits were dismissed after inspections found no violations.
The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with two sprinkler system complaints in 2023-2025, though inspections found no violations at the time. While there have been bedbug infestations reported in the past, the most recent filings from 2022-2025 show zero infested units. The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints, with most being resolved upon inspection or through corrective actions.
