230 Seaman Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10034

230 Seaman Avenue is a 5-story, 47-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Andrew Kleiman. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with ten documented complaints to HPD about these conditions, predominantly affecting the entire building. Most of these complaints were categorized as emergencies, and while some were resolved quickly, several instances required tenants to submit new complaints for proper follow-up.

The building has also faced persistent rodent control challenges, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing "Rat Activity" between March and August, though a recent April 2025 inspection passed. A significant safety issue was identified in late 2023 regarding encumbered fire escapes, with violation notices issued for flower pots obstructing egress and a drop ladder needing proper shoe installation; these violations were resolved by October 2023. The building's maintenance record shows various other violations that have been addressed, including door/window repairs, plumbing issues in Apartment GR2, and multiple infractions in Apartment 4B involving defective plastered surfaces.

Recent inspections have confirmed the building's bedbug status as clear for the past two reporting periods (2022-2024), and only one infestation was reported in 2021. A sidewalk shed-related violation was recorded in December 2023, though it was resolved with no penalty imposed. The property underwent several maintenance investigations throughout 2023-2024, with most violations being properly certified as corrected by their respective deadlines. While the building has experienced numerous maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and rodent control, there have been no recent bedbug infestations, and most violations appear to have been addressed promptly through the appropriate channels.
