326 East 100th Street, Manhattan

The head officer on record is Steven Croman, and the building is sitting on 239 open violations.

With 92 residential units, a pre-war building this size should carry a light operational file, but here the violations have piled up for years. The records show severe, chronic heat outages and a sudden burst of recent cooking gas issues. Three things to know:

Steven Croman is listed as the head officer. While the ownership LLC masks itself, Croman is the individual registered as the head officer. Anyone familiar with Manhattan real estate knows the name and the historic tenant-relations battles. Renting here means dealing with one of the city's most notorious landlords.

The building is sitting on 239 open violations. A typical 92-unit pre-war building might carry a handful of open issues, but this building has more than two dozen active violations for every ten apartments. This isn't just bureaucratic backlog; it's a pattern of deferred maintenance that runs through the systems.

221 heat and hot water complaints have been filed against this address. Tenants have spent winters dealing with chronic boiler failure. Plumbing issues are a major, ongoing struggle, though a plumbing permit was issued in November 2025 to attempt some fixes. Keep a close eye on radiator pipes if you tour during cold months.

Multiple cooking gas and stove complaints popped up in June and July 2026. Over the last few weeks, several apartments reported issues with their stoves or cooking gas lines, with many of those reports still open alongside an active pest complaint. In pre-war layouts, a gas leak can trigger a building-wide shutoff that takes months of specialized plumbing work to mend.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 228 unsanitary condition complaints within three blocks last year, driven mostly by 118 pest and 73 mold filings.
• 103 plumbing filings on surrounding blocks last year, with water supply and sink problems outnumbering toilets four-to-one.
• 120 residential noise complaints within three blocks last year, split between loud music and banging.
• The surrounding blockface carries plenty of street-level noise and sanitation issues, but the heavy lifting here is dealing with the building's own internal systems.
