433 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 8-story, 114-unit residential building at 433 East 13th Street in the East Village, owned by Richard Mack, was constructed in 2016 and has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with five emergency complaints filed between September and December 2024, and three more in April 2025. These issues have resulted in at least one open violation in 2024 for inadequate heat supply in Apartment 3FN, though earlier violations related to heat problems were eventually resolved.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including water leaks, mold, and unsanitary conditions (including garbage/recycling storage issues) mostly noted in 2024. Recent inspections indicate some ongoing pest management challenges, with rat activity noted in November 2024 and earlier complaints about garbage storage in 2024. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024.

During its construction in 2019, there were multiple safety violations recorded related to construction practices, including inadequate safety equipment and failure to protect adjoining properties, though these were resolved. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2025, and most recent Department of Buildings violations regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements have been dismissed or resolved. Regular maintenance permits have been issued throughout the building's history, with the most recent in 2021, indicating ongoing compliance with building maintenance requirements.
