207 East 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

The 34-unit, 5-story residential building at 207 East 21st Street in Gramercy, owned by Anthony Cacioppo, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. Most notably, there are currently **active violations** as of June 2023 regarding the **failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020-2021**, and there are **three active ECB violations** related to improper permit filing by Rolando Mechanical Corp from March 2019, each with a penalty of $2,500.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, with multiple complaints in March 2019 resulting in Oath Violations, and a series of illegal hotel room complaints in 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2024, and passed all rodent inspections in 2022 and 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2014. A smoking violation was recorded in 2018 (closed 2024), and a housing maintenance code violation was issued in 2021 regarding bedbug report filing requirements.

Multiple permits have been issued between 2018-2019 for plumbing work and emergency repairs, suggesting ongoing maintenance activity. While the building has demonstrated some positive aspects in recent years, such as maintaining a bedbug-free environment and passing recent rodent inspections, the outstanding violations related to pressure inspections and plumbing permits represent the most significant current compliance issues. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges between 2018-2019, though more recent inspection results indicate improved management in certain areas.
