225 East 28th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016
The 10-unit, 5-story tenement building at 225 East 28th Street (built in 1900) has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant concerns involving pest control in late 2022. Despite these complaints, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations during their investigations in December 2022-January 2023.
The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025, including a Rat Sighting complaint in March 2021 that resulted in violations, and an April 2025 inspection that passed. Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2019 for various issues, particularly involving the basement apartment's bathroom, including water leaks and waste line defects, though these were subsequently addressed. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting throughout the period from 2019 to 2024, consistently reporting zero infested or re-infested units.
Notable building system issues documented in past violations include a non-functioning self-closing door at the first-story vestibule (2023) and multiple violations regarding air conditioner installations and marble tread damage on the stoop (2019). The property has shown some improvement in recent inspections, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent filings (2024) and an April 2025 passing rodent inspection, suggesting management is addressing maintenance concerns as they arise. The building's ownership is currently held by 221-223 E28th St LLC.
