333 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The five-story, 24-unit tenement building at 333 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Jeffrey Pikus, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns about heating and plumbing systems. The building, constructed in 1900, has had multiple heating and hot water complaints since 2022, including four emergency complaints in 2023-2025.
Recent inspections in April 2025 have revealed unresolved issues related to janitorial services and steam pipe/riser problems, while inspections from January 2025 noted difficulties gaining access for flooring/stairs inspections. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) identified several violations in May 2022 for Apartment C2, including issues with self-closing doors, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and mice infestation, though these appear to have been resolved through subsequent inspections and certifications. The building has undergone various plumbing work permits in 2018-2019, with some inspections in September 2018 noting concerns about work contrary to stop work orders, though no violations were ultimately warranted upon inspection.
More recently, rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with several inspections in 2024-2025 indicating rat activity and failed initial inspections, though previous years' inspections had passed. The property has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug incidents reported from 2019 through 2024, with each annual filing showing zero infested units. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple completed repairs and certifications, the pattern of recurring heating system complaints and recent open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
