227 East 21st Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
227 East 21st Street is a 4-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Gramercy and owned by Carol Vendome. The 1910 structure has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant problems relating to heat and hot water systems. In 2023, three separate complaints about cooking gas and unsanitary conditions were filed in June, along with multiple plumbing complaints regarding sinks and showers between February and June.
The building has documented several heat and hot water violations in late 2022 and 2023, with the November 2022 complaint resulting in violations and a December 2022 complaint being closed due to lack of access for inspection. More recent concerns include multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints from October 2023, showing issues with flooring, smoke detectors, electrical wiring, and various other maintenance concerns. Open violations from December 2024 indicate ongoing issues in Apartment 6 regarding gas supply, with previous documentation showing problems with smoke detectors and various structural issues in that unit.
The building has also experienced multiple "Work Without a Permit" complaints, with the most recent being a Partial Stop Work Order issued in January 2025, and several active Environmental Control Board violations related to construction work and safety concerns from 2022. The property has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections from 2011 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2019, according to the required reporting. However, there are active ECB violations related to expired permits and construction work, including issues with an expired construction fence and unpermitted rear extension work. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and reporting requirements being met, though with notable gaps in prompt violation resolution according to the most recent records.
