13 East 7th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

13 East 7th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1871 in Manhattan's East Village, currently owned by Bldg 7th Street LLC. The property has experienced consistent heat and hot water system issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and February 2025, including both building-wide and apartment-specific concerns.

Despite these reports being categorized as emergencies, many complaints were closed without inspection due to access issues, and others were duplicate complaints while some indicated the condition was corrected. The building's infrastructure work is evidenced by three permits issued between late 2018 and early 2019 for electrical and plumbing work.

On the pest management front, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases from 2019 through 2024. Rodent inspections show a generally positive trend, with recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passing, though there was one failed inspection in July 2023 for unspecified reasons. The building's management has taken steps to address maintenance issues as they arise, with multiple service requests processed through the NYC 311 system and corresponding HPD investigations, though access to units for inspections has been a recurring challenge in verifying reported conditions.
