337 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, 20-unit Old Law tenement building at 337 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by Sol Eiferman, has been subjected to detailed scrutiny over recent years since its construction in 1884. The building experienced notable issues in August 2021, with emergency complaints regarding water leaks with heavy flow and ceiling paint/plaster problems, which were investigated but resulted in no violations being issued.

However, subsequent violations were recorded, including a required door repair in Apartment 3 and paint maintenance needed for ceilings in the first and second-story public halls. A significant safety concern was documented regarding an air conditioner obstructing fire escape access on the fourth-story balcony, though this violation was eventually closed in September 2021.

More concerning was a gas utility complaint from June 2021 that required multiple inspection attempts, though the inspector ultimately could not gain access. In the following years, the building has maintained a relatively stable record with regular rodent inspections showing consistent passing results, and only one bedbug incident reported in late 2024 affecting a single unit (which has since been eradicated) - the first such report in several years, as previous filings from 2018 through 2023 showed no infestations. The building has undergone routine maintenance checks, with most housing maintenance violations being addressed and closed, and appears to be currently maintaining compliance with health and safety regulations as of the latest inspections in 2025.
