65 East 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

65 East 3rd Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Class A residential building located in the East Village, owned by Janusz Sendowski and constructed in 1999. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues over recent years, with significant incidents reported in 2021 (steam pipe/riser problem) and 2018 (water supply issue), both of which required emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with annual filings since 2018 showing no reported infestations, and the most recent report from December 2024 confirmed zero infested or re-infested units. The building underwent significant repairs in 2021, particularly affecting first-floor Apartment 1F, which required attention to multiple issues including plaster and paint repairs in the bathroom ceiling, replacement of defective wood parquet floor tiles in the private hallway, and repairs to a water leak in the bathroom ceiling. The entrance door self-closing mechanism also required repair.

Since then, the building has demonstrated consistent maintenance compliance, with three separate rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without issues, and no reported violations or major incidents in the past two years. The property has maintained an active record of addressing both emergency and routine maintenance needs, with the most recent building inspection and violation review in 2024 showing proper bedbug reporting compliance, though an April 2024 violation was issued regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports. Additionally, the building received an AL permit in September 2018, with a job sequence number of 140798251, indicating proper regulatory compliance for planned work.
