236 East 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

236 East 13th Street is a 6-story, 84-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Aslan Ljulja. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water since late 2024, with multiple tenant complaints documented through January 2025, including an open plumbing issue related to water supply as of January 2025. These heating and hot water problems appear to primarily affect individual apartments, though there was one building-wide complaint in October 2024.

The building has also faced some maintenance challenges in individual units, particularly Apartment 9, which has active violations from July 2023 regarding defective wood floors and bathroom tiles. Historical records show structural concerns were documented in Apartment 9 during 2019, noting hairline cracks in walls and ceilings. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed between 2020 and 2025, demonstrating compliance with basic sanitation standards.

In terms of bedbug management, the building has reported zero incidents in its most recent filings between 2022 and 2024, suggesting effective pest control measures are in place. While there were several Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2019-2020, many of these have been resolved, including issues with self-closing doors and heating systems. Recent complaints primarily focus on water-related issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints recorded in late 2024 through early 2025, indicating an ongoing challenge with building systems. The most recent 311 service request regarding heat/hot water, filed in April 2025, was closed after the issue was reportedly corrected, though similar past complaints had required multiple follow-ups for resolution.
