240 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

240 East 10th Street is a 16-story residential building in the East Village, completed in 1999 and containing 35 units, currently owned by Christina Forbes. The building's recent history shows several notable events, with varying degrees of impact on resident experience. Most concerning was a January 2023 incident that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation related to ongoing renovation work on the 16th floor, where fire safety concerns were raised due to the absence of fire extinguishers during construction.

Other notable recent issues include a cooking gas complaint in 2022 that was investigated but resulted in no violations, and several violations related to improper garbage/recycling storage in 2020, which were also investigated without violations being issued. The building has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with bedbug reports showing no infestations in any units from 2019 through 2024. However, there was an apparent rodent issue in July 2024, though subsequent inspections in early 2025 showed the building passed rodent inspections.

The property has experienced some administrative violations, including a 2022 failure to file an energy use benchmarking report, though this violation was dismissed upon confirmation of submission. While there have been a few complaints related to sanitation and safety, most have been resolved without formal violations being issued. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and compliance with various housing codes, though the presence of multiple bait applications for pest control in early 2023 suggests some challenges in maintaining occupancy standards in that period.
