326 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 16-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 326 East 6th Street, owned by Peter Cabrera, has shown recurring issues with heat and water systems, most recently in January 2025, when two separate complaints about lack of heat and hot water were reported, one affecting the entire building and another specific to an individual apartment. The building, constructed in 1863, has experienced various maintenance challenges over recent years, including a significant number of complaints between 2020-2025 regarding unpermitted work, building stability concerns, and safety inspections.

While multiple complaints about work without permits were filed in 2021, inspections consistently found no violations. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with six consecutive annual filings showing zero cases of bedbug infestations between 2019-2024.

Rodent control efforts have been documented through regular inspections, with the most recent being a March 2025 passing inspection. The building has also undergone several other inspections and repairs, including plumbing issues in 2022 that required prompt attention and an appliance issue (gas range) that was investigated but resulted in no violations. While service requests have been addressed, they highlight ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance, particularly regarding heat and water availability, which appear to be the most persistent issue affecting resident comfort and safety.
