330 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, nine-unit tenement at 330 East 6th Street, owned by Ben Soleimani and dating back to 1863, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding water infrastructure. Most notably, in September 2023, the building faced multiple water leak complaints, both slow and with heavy flow, which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations for apartment 5R, requiring repairs to address leaking ceilings and walls in multiple rooms. This complaint was part of a concerning pattern, as water-related issues were also documented via 311 complaints in 2022 and a plumbing emergency in February 2022.

Additional maintenance challenges have included a pest infestation in December 2022 (though no violations were found), indoor sewage odor complaints in November 2022, and beach/pool/safety concerns in late 2022 that were investigated but resulted in no violations. The building's historical repair record shows some variations, including two complaints in July 2020 regarding work without a permit and possible illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of rodent control compliance, passing inspections roughly every six months since at least 2019, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 also passing.

Since the introduction of the bedbug reporting system in 2019, the building has recorded zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all filing periods, suggesting effective pest management protocols are in place for this particular issue. While the property has experienced recurring water-related problems, recent inspection results indicate some of the most recent violations have been addressed, with certain repairs certified by early 2024. The building's overall maintenance record shows a mix of response to complaints and regular inspections, with particular attention needed to ongoing water infrastructure maintenance and prompt resolution of reported issues.
