318 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, 8-unit tenement building at 318 East 6th Street, built in 1862 and currently owned by Tara Dexter, has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, there was a complaint regarding building shaking/vibrating that resulted in an Oath violation. The building has maintained a regular schedule of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance.

Between 2022 and 2024, multiple food establishment-related complaints were filed, including issues with rodents, insects, and garbage, with the most recent being in August 2024. A significant health incident occurred in July 2024 involving drinking water, though no violations were found. The building has faced recurring plumbing issues, particularly in early 2022, with three consecutive complaints about water supply problems and one regarding radiator issues, all categorized as emergencies.

These were appropriately addressed and closed. More recently, there have been periodic concerns about building systems, including two boiler-related complaints in 2020 and 2021 (though inspectors were unable to gain access), and an August 2023 complaint about an illegal or improper vent/exhaust. While there were violations noted in 2018 regarding gas leak procedures and bedbug reporting requirements, these have since been resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.
