The 62-unit, 6-story building at 405 East 16th Street, owned by David Rose and constructed in 1959, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple unsanitary sewage condition complaints in May and June 2025 that HPD inspectors were unable to fully investigate due to access issues.
The building has also faced persistent elevator service problems, with multiple "No Alternate Service" complaints between 2024 and 2025 remaining active as of July 2025. Electrical safety concerns were highlighted in 2024 with a violation for defective/exposed wiring resulting in an Oath violation. Recent inspections and complaints reveal ongoing infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues, water leaks, and various appliance and electrical problems as documented in multiple service requests throughout 2025.
The building has also faced significant elevator maintenance and safety issues, with multiple violations for brake problems, misaligned components, and emergency phone issues documented through Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past several years, rodent activity has been documented through multiple baiting inspections in 2024, with initial rat activity recorded in January 2024 and compliance baiting continuing through mid-2024. The property also has several open Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to submit required inspection reports, indicating potential oversight of building maintenance requirements.
