213 East 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
213 East 26th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Steven Croman. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple HPD complaints and service requests indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues are documented in complaints filed in February and April 2025, with at least one violation from November 2024 citing inadequate hot water supply in Apartment A.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a December 2024 violation regarding heating system access, and multiple electrical issues, including a no-lighting complaint in February 2025 and a wiring problem in June 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of urgent repairs needed across several disciplines. In 2023-2024, Apartment 4B was found to have mechanical vent issues in both the bathroom and kitchen, while Apartment A had problems with its kitchen faucet and plaster surfaces.
The property has also undergone multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent findings in 2025 indicating rat activity, though bait has consistently been applied since 2022. Additional concerns include several Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024, such as inadequate gas supply to fixtures in Apartment 4B and various repair needs throughout the building. While there have been multiple complaints about work without permits and illegal conversions between 2018 and 2025, most were either resolved or ended with violations being served. The building appears to consistently meet bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years.
