59 East 7th Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1897, currently owned by 59 East Seventh Realty LLC. The property has recently experienced several concerning issues, most notably a series of urgent cooking gas-related problems in September 2026, including multiple emergency complaints and violations regarding inadequate gas supply to fixtures in Apartment 3. The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, with Class C violations issued in August 2026 for pest infestations, including evidence of rats and flies in the air shaft, as well as violations regarding inadequate garbage receptacles and refuse accumulation in the center yard. Structural concerns have emerged as a major focus, with active DOB violations from October 2025 regarding dislodged and unstable shoring at the building steps, and exposed facade issues including loose stucco and cracks. The building's exterior facade has drawn particular attention, with Environmental Control Board violations in 2026 noting displaced brick masonry at multiple exposures and a penalty of $2,500. Historical records show a pattern of maintenance challenges, including 3 Class A, 8 Class B, and 16 Class C housing violations in the past seven years, along with failed rodent inspections and various environmental control board penalties totaling $13,780. More recent concerns include multiple 311 service requests related to cooking gas issues in September 2026, indicating ongoing utility infrastructure problems.

What's in the 59 East 7 Street report
Is 59 East 7 Street rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 59 East 7 Street covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
