17 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

17 St. Marks Place is a 6-story, 22-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 in Manhattan's East Village, currently owned by Anthony Gioia. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2024-2025 affecting the entire building, most recently in January 2025.

These complaints have typically been resolved, though one incident in May 2024 required HPD intervention due to inadequate heat and hot water conditions verified in one apartment. The building has also faced pest issues, with violations for roach infestation documented in Apartment 6 in 2024, and rodent violations noted in Apartment 10 from 2021. Although the property has passed recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025, there was a period of rat activity in August 2022. The building's maintenance history shows particular attention to building safety and sanitation, with multiple violations addressed including door self-closing mechanisms and garbage storage.

Health Department complaints between 2023-2024 indicate concerns about tattooing facilities, including unlicensed artists and inadequate equipment, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the most recent filings from 2023-2025. Recent building inspections have generally resulted in passing grades for pest control, though the presence of mice and door issues in Apartment 10 in 2021 resulted in open violations recorded in 2024. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by multiple certified correction dates in 2024, though some recurring issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
