691 10th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036

The 20-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building at 691 10th Avenue, owned by 691 Tenth LLC, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing food poisoning complaint filed with the DOHMH in January 2025, which remains under investigation.

The building has faced multiple food establishment-related complaints between 2023-2024, including issues with food spoilage and rodent/insect concerns. There were significant gas-related issues in 2022-2023, with multiple violations cited regarding inadequate gas supply to range fixtures in apartments 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, and 19, and multiple emergency complaints regarding cooking gas problems. The building has maintained a relatively good track record in terms of pest control, with all recent rodent inspections (most recently in October 2024) passing, and regular bedbug reports showing no infestations or eradications in the past five reporting periods from 2019-2025.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including heat and hot water problems in March 2022 (with multiple emergency complaints), and several inspections that found no violations despite initial complaints, such as a 2023 rodent-related complaint and a 2022 heat/hot water issue. Notably, there are several open violations related to gas supply issues from 2021-2022, and a 2023 bedbug reporting requirement violation from 2018 that remains active. The building's management has generally responded to complaints, with many issues being resolved through inspections that found no violations or through administrative processes, though some violations remain open as of the latest data.
