219 1st Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 4-story, 9-unit tenement building at 219 1st Avenue in the East Village, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 219 First Avenue Partners LLC, has experienced several significant issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been persistent rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in multiple inspections between January 2024 and June 2025, though some inspections in 2022-2023 passed.
The building has undergone three separate inspections regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, receiving violations for not filing annual bedbug reports as required, though the most recent 2025 report shows no current infestations. Recent maintenance history shows a food establishment-related toilet facility complaint in 2022-2024 handled by the Department of Health, and a plumbing/water supply issue in January 2022 that was promptly corrected according to HPD records.
The building's age and status as an old law tenement have led to various compliance requirements, including the need for annual bedbug reporting as evidenced by multiple violations between 2019 and 2024. An outdoor lighting violation from 2019 regarding front entranceway lighting was recorded but has since been addressed. The combination of ongoing rodent activity, historical bedbug reporting violations, and the age of the building suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent records indicate some improvements in pest management conditions.
