337 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 5-story, 14-unit tenement at 337 East 13th Street, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jlre 13th Street LLC, is experiencing recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heat and hot water systems. Since the end of 2023 through 2024, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with the most recent complaints occurring in December 2024. The building has also experienced persistent rodent issues, with regular baiting and inspections throughout 2024 and into 2025 indicating ongoing problems.
There are several notable building code violations and maintenance issues recorded. In October 2024, violations were noted in Apartment 2 regarding a missing escutcheon plate on a heat riser pipe, water leak issues, and fire egress concerns related to obstructing bars or gates. Apartment 12 had violations related to a defective self-closing door.
Other violations from 2023 and 2024 include concerns about carbon monoxide detectors (Apartment 7), various door-related issues, and the presence of unapproved electrical equipment in the basement. A particularly concerning pattern has emerged regarding the building's potential use as an illegal hotel, with multiple complaints filed throughout 2023-2024, though inspectors noted "Unable to Gain Access" during final attempts. The building has also incurred several Environmental Control Board violations in 2024, particularly regarding safety systems and occupancy concerns, with associated penalties totaling $10,000, though the status is listed as "Resolved." However, the ongoing rodent activity and repeated heating system failures suggest continuing maintenance challenges within the building. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations since 2019.
