630 10th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

630 10th Avenue is a five-story, eight-unit residential building located in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Peter Giaimo and constructed in 1910 as an old law tenement. The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past year, with three heat/hot water complaints filed in January 2025 (two building-wide and one apartment-specific), all classified as emergencies.

HPD faced difficulties gaining access to inspect the conditions, which were initially reported in January 2025 and earlier in January 2023, when another plumbing complaint regarding water supply was also filed. The building's infrastructure challenges have extended beyond heating systems, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2025. The property has a concerning history of rodent activity, with several inspections in 2023 and 2024 indicating rat presence, including failed compliance inspections in April, June, and August 2023, and July 2024.

While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years (2020-2025), the building does have a record of ventilation issues, with a complaint filed in 2019 regarding illegal/improper vent/exhaust, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. A food establishment-related odor complaint was also recorded in late 2023. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections and treatments, with bait applied in February 2023, though the results have been inconsistent, with some inspections showing rat activity and others noting failed for other reasons.
