126 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

126 Elizabeth Street is a 6-story, 24-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900 in Little Italy, currently owned by Pavel Krivchikov. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in late 2024 involving steam pipes/riser, ceiling damage (paint/plaster), and flooring issues, all of which were reportedly corrected according to HPD records. The building underwent significant compliance scrutiny in 2021-2022, with multiple violations identified in Apartment 7 including problems with heat systems (hot water over 130 degrees), pest infestation (roaches), and safety concerns regarding smoke/carbon monoxide detectors.

While most of these violations were closed by December 2021, the building's maintenance history shows ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has been subjected to multiple rodent inspections, showing variable results between 2019 and 2024, with rat activity noted in August 2024 but passed inspections in November 2024. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2021-2024, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management operations.

The electrical and plumbing systems have required attention, with the most recent HPD inspection in February 2023 finding no violations, though there were significant plumbing issues reported in 2024. The building's HVAC and water systems have experienced periodic outages, most notably in late 2020 when tenants reported heat and hot water problems. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues, recent inspections and bedbug reports suggest active management of pest control and compliance requirements, with many past violations having been resolved.
