35 East 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 8-story, 6-unit building at 35 East 20th Street in Manhattan's Flatiron District, owned by Eric Davis and constructed in 1899, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most recently, between 2021 and 2024, there was a complaint about food establishment issues relating to rodents/insects/garbage that was closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

There have been multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations on record, including a Cycle 9A unsafe report filed in February 2022 that was dismissed in September 2024, and an ECB violation from May 2018 involving a failure to submit the required critical examination report of exterior walls, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs over the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with no infested or eradicated units reported in any of the filings.

Regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2014 showed consistent compliance, with all inspections passing. Multiple permits were issued between 2018 and 2019 for exterior work and plumbing, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure. While there have been some safety and maintenance issues noted in the building's history, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the completion of various permits suggest active management of the property's upkeep, though prospective tenants should remain mindful of the building's age and previous violation history.
