104 3rd Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

104 3rd Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jaime Sanmiguel. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2020 and 2021, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. A water leak complaint from 2021 was investigated without resulting violations.

The building has had various maintenance issues, particularly in February 2020, when multiple violations were documented, including problems with the first-story public hall ceiling, fire escape access, and electrical wiring conditions. The building's most recent violations, documented in 2023, pertain to the absence of the required annual bedbug report, though the building has shown consistent reporting of 0 infested units in subsequent years. The property has maintained a good rodent inspection record, with annual inspections from 2019 through 2025 passing consistently.

The building's bedbug situation appears to have been effectively managed, with only one infested unit reported between 2019-2020, and all subsequent reports showing 0 infested, 0 eradicated, and 0 re-infested units. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, particularly in 2020, there have been no recent complaints regarding major systems like heat and hot water, and the property has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections in recent years. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows no infestations, suggesting improved pest management practices.
