237 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 6-story, 28-unit tenement building at 237 East 10th Street in the East Village, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jorge Angeles, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years. The most pressing current issues, as of September-October 2024, include multiple plumbing problems involving basin/sink issues, flooring concerns, and unsanitary conditions related to pests, all of which HPD inspectors were unable to investigate due to access issues. The building has also faced recurring pest problems, with violations issued in August 2024 and May 2024.

In early 2025, several non-emergency maintenance issues were documented, including door and cabinet problems, a slow water leak, and a concerning mold situation, all of which were closed shortly after reporting. The building's safety systems have required attention, with violations in 2024 related to door self-closing mechanisms and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 4A, as well as a 2024 heat/hot water complaint that inspectors were unable to fully investigate due to access issues. The property has a mixed record of building system maintenance, with active violations as of 2024 for failing to file required technical reports related to external inspections.

Historical records show a complaint about illegal hotel rooms from 2019, though inspection access was denied. In terms of pest control, while there were multiple pest-related complaints, recent bedbug reports from 2024 show no units affected. The building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, though a rat activity notice was recorded in 2022. The property shows regular maintenance activity, with several permits issued in 2019 for unspecified work, though some routine violations have emerged, including issues with paint/plaster conditions and safety equipment maintenance.
