28 East 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
28 East 21st Street is a four-story, seven-unit residential building in Manhattan's Flatiron District, constructed in 1850 and currently owned by Julius Zecchino. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being an open water leak complaint filed in May 2025. Previous emergencies include a heat and hot water outage in March 2023, though this was reportedly resolved within three days, and a pest-related sanitary condition in May 2022 that resulted in violations.
Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been documented, with a notable cluster of issues in 2022-2023, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and evidence of a roach infestation in basement apartment 1B. The building has faced ongoing regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued for failure to file annual reports between 2018 and 2020. However, the most recent bedbug report from August 2024 shows positive progress, indicating no current infestations with six previously infested units reported as eradicated.
The property has also received four open violations as of June 2023 related to external low pressure inspection filings. Structural stability concerns were investigated in June 2022 following complaints of building shaking, but no violations were warranted at that time. Historical records show consistent passing inspections for rodent control from 2010 to 2014, and two active work permits were issued in 2018-2019.
