56 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

56 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood, built in 1893 and currently owned by Jonathan Wertenteil. The building has experienced some maintenance issues in recent years, with a notable incident in March 2023 involving unsecured window air conditioning units on the 4th floor, which resulted in a violation and enforcement work order.

More recently, in December 2024, there was one documented case of bedbug infestation, though records show this was promptly addressed and the affected unit was reported as eradicated. The building has been subject to regular rodent inspections, with mixed results; while the most recent May 2025 inspection passed, there were failures noted in both November 2024 and November 2023 inspections, though these were for "Other Reasons" and not specified in the records.

The bedbug reporting shows a pattern of zero infestations from 2019 through 2022, with only one documented case in the most recent filing period (2023-2024). The building's rodent inspection history indicates consistent oversight and monitoring, with all inspection results prior to the recent failures showing compliance. The property's inspection and violation history suggests active management and response to building maintenance issues, with violations being addressed as they arise, though the two most recent rodent inspection failures indicate a potential area of concern requiring attention.
