34 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

34 East 7th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Seventh Street Properties Associates, LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints recorded in 2025, 2023, 2022, and throughout 2021-2022, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved promptly, multiple incidents required HPD inspections, and one recent 2025 complaint could not be properly investigated due to lack of access.

The building received several violations in 2022, including issues with hot water supply in Apartment 1B, defective self-closing doors, and a broken fire-retardant ceiling in the boiler room, all of which were subsequently corrected. There have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021, with annual reports indicating zero infested units from 2021 through 2024. The property has undergone rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications recorded between September 2023 and November 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 passed.

A 2022 Department of Buildings complaint regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling resulted in an inspector unable to gain access for proper investigation. The building's heat and hot water system remains a recurring maintenance concern, as evidenced by the frequency of related complaints and inspections over the past several years. While some violations and maintenance issues have been promptly addressed, the pattern of heating system problems suggests an ongoing challenge in this area. The property's rodent control program appears to be actively maintained, with recent inspections showing improved conditions.
