80 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

80 East 3rd Street, owned by Dora Shore, is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910 in the East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints filed in 2020, 2021, and most recently in March 2025, though in all cases, HPD was either unable to gain access for inspection or was informed that services had been restored. There have been multiple concerns regarding cooking gas supply, particularly in December 2019 and October 2020, with violations issued and some complaints involving multiple duplicative filings.

More recent building concerns include a mold complaint in May 2025 that was inspected but found not to violate HPD housing laws. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing both passed and failed results between 2022 and 2025, including rat activity observed in 2022, and compliance inspections showing varying results between 2023 and 2025. An effective pest management program is evidenced by consistent bedbug reporting from 2020 through 2024, showing zero infestation cases.

The property underwent some significant building work in 2020, as evidenced by environmental control board violations for unpermitted work involving a new flue installation, though this was later resolved. Currently, there are several open violations from 2019 related to public hall maintenance, including issues with ceramic floor tiles, fire retardant materials, and painting requirements, as well as a 2019 violation regarding self-closing doors in Apartment 12. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements being authorized, with the most recent permits issued in 2023.
