319 East 5th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 5-story, 23-unit residential building at 319 East 5th Street in the East Village, owned by Jonathan Wertenteil, has experienced some recent maintenance challenges, particularly in the last quarter of 2024. Most notably, there were simultaneous emergency complaints regarding the entire building's heat/hot water and plumbing/toilet systems on October 17, 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has undergone regular inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent results showing compliance and passing reports in March 2025 and September 2024, after an initial rat activity finding in September 2023.
An investigation regarding illegal hotel rooms was initiated in October 2024, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits. The building's recent service history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, including the October 2024 complaints. However, there is a positive record regarding pest control, with all bedbug reporting periods from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units.
The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all recent evaluations. A building permit was issued in August 2018 for electrical work (EW) under job number 123402068. While the building's age (constructed in 1900) presents typical maintenance challenges, the regularized reporting and inspection results suggest ongoing attention to building conditions.
