228 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
228 East 13th Street is a 6-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1900 located in Manhattan's East Village, currently owned by Magdalena Keck. The building's recent history shows several concerning patterns, particularly around maintenance and health issues. Most notably, there is an active violation from April 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy of the entire roof as a recreational area, which carries a $1,250 penalty.
The building has also experienced multiple rodent-related issues in recent years, with three inspections between 2022-2025 indicating rat activity or failure to meet compliance standards, though the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 passed. There have been persistent plumbing issues, with the most recent complaint about water supply problems in January 2025, though HPD found no housing law violations during their inspection. The property has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested dwelling units in reports from 2019 through 2024.
However, there were two indoor air quality complaints in November 2023 that resulted in advisory notices to the property owner. The building's inspection history shows regular monitoring, with multiple permits issued for plumbing and other work between 2019-2024, including two permits issued on February 7, 2024. While there have been various health and safety complaints documented through 311 and other channels, many were either closed with no violations found or addressed through notification processes. The property currently maintains active rodent monitoring requirements, with the most recent initial inspection in April 2025 passing.
