329 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
329 East 5th Street is a 5-story, 12-unit old law tenement building located in the East Village, owned by Ivan Kaczor and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring plumbing issues in recent months, with multiple complaints about water supply problems filed in June 2024, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations.
More concerning are the repeated rodent-related incidents; while the building generally passed most inspections, there were some failures noted in 2024, including a rat activity detection in March 2024 and an inspection that failed for "Other Reasons" in April 2024. The building has received consistent attention from health authorities regarding rodent presence, with inspections conducted as recently as March 2025 showing passing results. The property has demonstrated regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in all annual reports from 2019 through 2024.
A significant maintenance requirement emerged in July 2024, when a violation was issued regarding rust removal and painting of all stories, balconies, and fire escape components on the building's front, though this violation was certified as closed by October 2024. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of addressing issues as they arise, with most recent complaints being promptly investigated, though the recurrence of plumbing issues and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's historic structure and age as an old law tenement are consistent with typical East Village building characteristics, and its location benefits from proximity to neighborhood amenities.
