38 East 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

At 38 East 10th Street in Greenwich Village, this 10-story, 111-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929 has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. The most recent concerns include a rat sighting in May 2024 and a heat/hot water complaint in May 2023 that could not be verified due to a lack of access. The building has faced various infrastructure challenges, including a power outage in October 2019 and documented mold issues in October 2020, both of which were classified as emergency situations.

The Department of Buildings records show two work without permits compliance checks in 2021, though no violations were found at the time of inspection. Environmental violations related to exterior wall inspections were noted in 2020-2022, with one active penalty of $6,250 still listed as of the latest records. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2013 and 2024, with all showing passing results, though there was one rat sighting complaint in 2024.

Bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 consistently show zero infestations or related issues. The building has maintained an active record of permit activity, with multiple emergency work permits issued between 2019 and 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts. While some resident complaints have been recorded, particularly regarding heat and unsanitary conditions, many of these could not be fully investigated due to access issues. The property's relatively consistent passing of rodent inspections and lack of bedbug infestations over multiple years demonstrates some level of effective pest management, though recent complaints about heat and rodent sightings indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
