738 10th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
738 10th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit pre-1910 tenement building in Hell's Kitchen, currently owned by Jessica Vargas. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with ten documented complaints between November 2024 and January 2025, including two emergency complaints in January 2025 that were closed after systems were reportedly restored. A December 2024 inspection revealed violations related to heat and hot water systems (Class C violation) and safety devices (class B violations) in apartment 3S, specifically concerning the heating system, smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and hot water supply.
The building has an established history of maintenance challenges, particularly in the past few years. In March 2024, significant violations were recorded in apartment 3S related to pest infestations, window guards, and lead paint hazards. Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain open, including those related to heating systems and safety equipment.
The building's management has also faced scrutiny regarding unauthorized conversions and illegal hotel use, with several complaints investigated in 2020-2021, though access was typically not granted for inspection. Three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2022 indicate failure to comply with previous commissioner's orders to file certificates of correction, each subject to penalties of $1,250. The most recent building-wide inspection for rodent control passed successfully in July 2024, and previous inspections from 2016-2019 also indicated compliance. Additional open DOB violations from 2018 and 2023 relate to external inspections.
