313 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

313 East 6th Street is a historic three-story tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1853 and currently owned by Nancy De Antonio. The building has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, most notably a serious fire in August 2022 that caused extensive damage to all three occupied apartments (1, 2, and 3) and affected the roof structure, with charred rafters and additional water and smoke damage throughout the building.

This incident led to immediate Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring the abatement of fire damage, and it appears to have compromised the building's overall safety and habitability, as indicated by an active Department of Buildings violation regarding the building's structurally compromised status. In the years following the fire, there have been persistent Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023-2024, and rodent activity has been documented in 2025 and 2024 inspections, though earlier inspections from 2020 through 2023 showed consistent passing results in this regard.

The building faced several complaints and violations in 2025 and 2023 regarding construction compliance and debris concerns, though inspections typically found no violations warranting action at the time of inspection. The most recent inspections in 2025 identified rat activity, though this followed multiple years of passing rodent inspections. While some stability issues appear to have been addressed, as evidenced by the closed status of various recent complaints, the building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and compliance with reporting requirements.
