219 East 28th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Steve Croman. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic amenities and building maintenance over the past year. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in October 2024, for which HPD was unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
The building has also faced several unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pest issues between June and September 2024, with similar access issues preventing proper inspection. The most significant pattern of violations appears to be concentrated in apartment 2A, with open violations as of mid-2024 relating to various maintenance issues including problems with doors, windows, plaster surfaces, and paint conditions. The building has documented rodent activity, with inspections in 2025 showing bait application and compliance with initial rodent activity findings.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past several years. While there was one complaint about work without a permit in 2021, this was investigated and no violation was found. The Department of Buildings has conducted multiple rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, indicating ongoing monitoring and management of pest control issues in the building.
