228 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
228 East 6th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1890 in Manhattan's East Village, currently owned by Ray Seelall. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented outages affecting the entire building in October 2019, and another incident in November 2021, though in each case, the problem appeared to be resolved shortly after tenant complaints were filed. A significant cluster of maintenance issues emerged in June 2019, including violations related to ceiling and wall paint/plaster, window frames, flooring, plumbing (steam pipe/riser access issues), and cabinet problems.
More recent inspections from 2023 revealed violations including damaged bricks on the first story exterior wall and issues with door self-closing mechanisms. The building has faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including an electrical violation in 2021 for unpermitted electrical work and defective emergency lighting throughout the building. There were also documented pest control issues in Apartment 8 in October 2021, including reports of mice and roaches.
The property shows ongoing concerns with rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2023-2025 indicating rat presence, though bait was applied in 2023. The building has demonstrated a history of maintenance violations being addressed but recurring systems issues, particularly regarding heating and plumbing infrastructure. All documented pest issues from 2021-2024 show zero infestations or eradications reported during annual bedbug filings.
