15 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, eight-unit building at 15 East 7th Street in the East Village, owned by Teresa Maher and constructed in 1865, has experienced a variety of maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 related to bedbug report filings, and two violations from 2022 concerning required painting work on the cornice and exterior balconies.

The building had multiple dangerous conditions reported in January-February 2022, including heat/hot water issues, electrical problems (lighting, outlet/switch, and no lighting), and unsanitary sewage conditions, though these were subsequently verified as corrected by HPD. More recent concerns include a potential issue noted in June 2023 regarding external low-pressure inspection filing that remains active as of October 2023.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2020, indicating effective pest management. While there have been several food establishment-related complaints to the DOHMH, most of which were administratively closed, these appear to be related to external establishments rather than building conditions. The most recent building safety and maintenance records suggest some ongoing concerns with violation compliance and periodic maintenance requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and exterior maintenance, though the building has generally maintained basic safety and habitability standards through prompt response to emergency complaints.
