422 East 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 19-unit building at 422 East 14th Street in the East Village, owned by Peter Jakobson Jr., has experienced recurrent heating and hot water issues over the past two years. Most recently, a heat and hot water emergency was reported in December 2024, marking the 9th such complaint since July 2023. While some of these complaints were resolved or closed after inspections confirmed restoration of services, several instances in 2024 required multiple complaints before access was granted for inspection.
Violations were officially documented in 2024 for inadequate hot water delivery to apartment 4B and locked access issues to the boiler room. The building's heating system history is concerning, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2019-2021 regarding defective/inoperative boiler conditions, and two significant Environmental Control Board violations from 2019 and 2020 detailing various boiler-related safety concerns, though these were later resolved. The property has maintained an active response to pest management, with regular rodent inspections between 2019-2025 consistently passing, and a clean record for bedbugs over the past five reporting periods (2021-2024), showing zero infested units.
While there were complaints about unsanitary conditions in 2023 regarding pests and garbage storage, no violations were issued. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has resolved various code violations through inspections. Two related violations were documented in 2023, specifically addressing hot water issues in apartments 4B and 5D, though these were subsequently closed.
