85 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 6-story, 107-unit building at 85 East 10th Street in the East Village, owned by Steven Beberman and constructed in 1900, has recently faced recurring issues with heating and water supply systems, particularly evident in December 2024 and January 2025 when multiple heat/hot water complaints were filed, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues coincided with several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to plumbing and water supply problems, with multiple emergency complaints between December 2024 and early 2025.

In April 2024, Apartment PHE was cited for multiple violations including mold, water leaks, and missing safety devices, though these were later certified as corrected by May 2024. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest infestations, with no bedbug cases reported since 2022, though there were three cases documented in 2020-2021. Rodent inspections have generally shown passing results, though a rat activity incident was noted in February 2024.

The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections in 2024 and 2025, including tenant safety evaluations and scaffold inspections, all resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. Recent permit activity shows ongoing maintenance work, with permits issued in 2020, 2023 (two permits), and a third permit in September 2023. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple repairs and corrections of violations, though the pattern of recurring heating and water supply complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
