13 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

The five-story, 16-unit tenement building at 13 St Marks Place in the East Village, owned by Richard Gioia, was constructed in 1900 and is classified as an OLD LAW TENEMENT. The building has experienced several significant events over the past few years, with the most recent concerning heat and hot water issues in January 2024, which resulted in an HPD inspection but no access to verify the problem. This raises potential concerns about building systems maintenance.

The property has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing compliance with health standards, despite multiple rodent-related complaints in 2022. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2025 shows no infestations, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested, indicating successful pest management. The building has had three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though these appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by subsequent filings showing zero infested units.

Other notable incidents include a regulatory inspection in 2022 regarding vaccine mandate compliance, and a food poisoning complaint in 2019, though these were not directly related to the building's condition. The recent spate of heat/hot water complaints (January 2024) stands out as the most significant recent issue, though it was ultimately closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's overall maintenance record shows consistent attention to regulatory requirements, with all identified violations being addressed through subsequent compliance.
