214 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

214 East 10th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by George Lavian, located in the East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with three notable complaints between 2020 and 2025, including a significant building-wide outage in January 2025 that remains under investigation by the Department of Health.

Other significant maintenance concerns have included electrical outages (2023), water leaks (2022), and various unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pest issues in 2023. The building underwent a significant inspection in June 2021, revealing multiple safety and maintenance deficiencies including defective carbon monoxide detectors in multiple apartments (9 and 17), a leaky tub faucet in apartment 7, and several issues with fire escape obstructions and window frames, though most of these violations appear to have been subsequently resolved.

Recent records show relatively fewer complaints, with the most recent issues centering around food safety (2025) and persistent heating system challenges. Notably, the building has maintained an exceptional record in pest management, as evidenced by zero reported bedbug infestations in all annual reports from 2020 to 2024, and has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, suggesting effective building-wide pest control measures. While the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring infrastructure issues, particularly with heating systems, the recent trend indicates fewer documented violations, though the ongoing investigation into the 2025 heat/hot water complaint suggests this remains an area of concern.
