115 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

115 East 10th Street is a 3-story, 56-unit residential building located in Manhattan's East Village, constructed in 1870 and currently owned by Juan Balandra. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections and bait applications throughout 2024 and 2025, including recent compliance inspections showing rat activity in November 2024 and January 2025.

The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges, including a period of no heat or hot water in December 2020 affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored promptly according to HPD records. During late 2020, there were also concerns about construction-related dust impacting indoor air quality.

The building's electrical system has been a particular area of concern, with active violations regarding unsafe electrical work from 2019 and 2021, including the use of improper equipment and materials. While there have been no reported incidents of bedbug infestations in recent years (with consistent zero counts in annual filings from 2022-2024), the building's recent history shows ongoing pest management efforts primarily focused on rodent control, as evidenced by regular bait applications and inspections. The property's maintenance record suggests persistent challenges with both basic building systems and pest management, with the most recent data indicating ongoing rodent activity as of 2025.
