242 West 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

242 West 10th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit Old Law tenement building located in New York City's West Village, constructed in 1860 and currently owned by Jerry Camilleri. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a building-wide heat and hot water outage in February 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. There has been a documented history of both pest control challenges and water-related issues.

The property has recorded multiple instances of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2022, though recent filings from 2022-2025 indicate zero current infestations. The building has faced various violations related to building safety and maintenance, particularly in apartment 34 where multiple issues were documented in 2022 including window frame problems, water leaks, and several code violations concerning door, window, and floor repairs. Recent building inspections and service requests reveal ongoing maintenance challenges, including an open violation as of 2024 regarding a broken wood floor in apartment 2AB.

The building underwent significant activity in 2020-2021, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to construction and tenant protection plans, particularly concerning inadequate housekeeping and insufficient tenant protection during construction work. While there have been numerous emergency service requests over the past five years, many were either closed without violations being found or were addressed through repairs. Rodent baiting efforts were implemented in 2023, with multiple bait applications recorded, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown passing results. The building's history shows a pattern of addressing maintenance issues through various permits and violations, with a notable decrease in pest control violations and other maintenance issues in recent years, though some open violations remain outstanding as of 2025.
