62 7th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011

62 7th Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's West Village, owned by Magdalena Kosz and constructed in 1901. The most pressing recent issue has been a repeated pattern of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building throughout early 2025, with ten separate complaints registered between December 2024 and May 2025, all classified as emergencies. While many of these complaints were resolved relatively quickly, with heat and hot water reportedly restored, the frequency of these incidents suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building has also experienced various maintenance and safety violations, including missed deadlines for repairing or replacing essential safety equipment such as carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in Apartment 5N, and several issues with the first-story public hall including broken tiles, fire-retardant material problems, and painting requirements. The building's history includes several significant complaints and violations, such as allegations of illegal occupancy in 2023 related to a "KXY SPA" establishment in the cellar level, which was subsequently resolved. There have been multiple complaints regarding construction work and building stability concerns, though inspections typically found no violations at the time.

The property has maintained an active response to pest control measures, as evidenced by numerous rodent inspections and bait applications between 2023-2025, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passing. Importantly, the building has demonstrated effective management of bedbug issues, with no reported infestations in the past three years and only one documented case in 2020 that was promptly addressed. The property has been subject to regular inspections and oversight, with various violations and complaints being addressed, including recent concerns about lighting from a parking lot affecting the building in June 2025.
