273 West 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

Located in the West Village, 273 West 10th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit old law tenement built in 1910, currently owned by Steven Croman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with recent complaints filed in January 2025 as the most current incident, though these complaints were not able to secure building access for inspection. A pattern of similar complaints appears throughout 2021-2022, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The property has also faced several plumbing-related issues, with three distinct complaints between 2021-2022 including concerns about basins/sinks and a heavy water leak, all of which went unresolved through inspections. Other notable incidents include a 2022 complaint about intercom/buzzer system issues and a 2020 violation related to a bathroom ceiling in apartment 2FW. The building has maintained consistent standards in several areas, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2019-2025), and successful passing of rodent inspections from 2016 through 2024, indicating effective pest management.

However, there is an active violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file for the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. Two complaints were filed concerning illegal use of the building for hotel rooms (2020 and 2024), though both investigations either encountered access issues or lacked sufficient evidence to confirm violations. The building has historical violations, including a 2010 order to improve emergency egress from the yard, and a 2004 requirement for carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3FE, indicating past safety concerns that were subsequently addressed. The overall pattern of complaints suggests persistent challenges with building systems, particularly regarding heat/hot water maintenance and plumbing, though the building has successfully addressed numerous safety and maintenance requirements over the years.
