316 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, 20-unit building at 316 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by Mark Rozof, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout recent years, with particular attention needed to address recurring pest problems. Most notably, in 2024, there were multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions and pests, including a significant pattern of reported rodent activity.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in 2024, including floor issues, appliance problems (specifically with refrigerators), and general maintenance concerns, particularly affecting the fifth-floor apartment. Recent inspections from 2024 show open violations regarding defective floor tiles in public areas and specific issues in Apartment 5, including mold, defective smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building's history also reveals significant past issues from 2018, including multiple violations related to work conducted contrary to stop work orders, unauthorized construction, and safety concerns such as missing fire stopping materials. While the building has maintained a generally compliant status in recent rodent inspections (with the last two showing no rat activity), the persistence of maintenance issues and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort. The property has no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and recent rodent inspections in March 2025 passed without issues.
