332 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building at 332 East 6th Street in the East Village, built in 1864 and currently owned by Justin Kaliner, has faced several recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between late 2023 and early 2025, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with violations issued in early 2024, alongside persistent concerns about mold and sanitization.

The building has experienced ventilation problems in 2025, and significant safety concerns emerged in early 2025 with multiple emergency violations for door security and safety equipment. Recent inspections and complaints show a pattern of maintenance challenges, including heating system access issues, unauthorized alterations (such as a problematic keyed lock on a fire escape), and various building code violations.

The property has maintained regular rodent inspections with mixed results, passing in 2025 and 2024 but failing in September 2024, while the most recent bedbug report from February 2025 indicates one previously infested unit that has since been treated. The building's management has faced scrutiny over multiple regulatory issues, including the need for proper self-closing doors, proper hot water access, and maintaining building safety systems. Despite numerous complaints and violations, many have been closed following inspections, suggesting some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, though there are still several open violations as of recent inspections.
