7 Jones Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building at 7 Jones Street in the West Village, currently owned by Enredi Shtylla, has a documented history of maintenance issues requiring attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about electric lighting issues and mold conditions, with violations issued for the lighting problems. A notable building stability complaint was also filed and investigated in April 2025, resulting in an Oath Violation.

The building experienced multiple maintenance issues in May 2023, including unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), plumbing problems (basin/sink), flooring concerns, and appliance issues (refrigerator), with several violations issued at that time. Apartment 6 was specifically cited for various issues in 2023, including defects in self-closing doors, broken ceramic floor tiles, and a roach infestation, though all violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 through 2024 showing zero infested units.

Rat activity was recorded in 2022, but subsequent rodent inspections from 2023 onward have all passed. HPD violations from 2023 specifically required repairs to self-closing doors, floor tiles, and various kitchen fixtures in Apartment 6. The property has had multiple emergency and non-emergency service requests in recent years, with a consistent pattern of mold-related complaints and various maintenance issues. The building's age (built in 1888) and history of maintenance violations suggest ongoing building maintenance challenges, though many violations appear to be promptly addressed once cited.
