73 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

73 East 7th Street is a 6-story, 33-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1897 and currently owned by Christopher Verni. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns primarily focused on safety and building systems. In 2023, multiple violations were documented regarding door safety and security, including problems with self-closing doors and locks at the trash chute, vestibule, and bulkhead door.

The building has also maintained a pattern of mold-related issues, with complaints in 2023 and 2021. An Environmental Control Board violation from March 2023 regarding missing support brackets for window A/C units on multiple floors remains active with a $250 penalty. While the building has recorded multiple emergency complaints in 2021 related to plumbing, including issues with radiators and a boiler, and various unsanitary conditions, most recent service requests from 2023 have been resolved without violations.

The property has shown improvements in some areas, with consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2022-2025, though there was one recorded instance of rat activity in late 2022. There have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last three filing periods (2022-2024), with only one case noted in 2020. Historical data shows occasional issues with building maintenance, including a 2020 incident involving some encumbrance obstructing egress from fire escapes. Recent inspections have demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, with most being certified as corrected, though there is an active ECB violation pending resolution regarding the window A/C unit support brackets.
