The city has posted partial vacate orders at 61 E. Third St., a 6-floor residential building between First Avenue and Second Avenue (thanks to Marjorie Ingall for the photos!) ...
According to the complaint on file in the DOB's ALL-CAP STYLE: "TWO STORAGE ROOMS AT CELLAR ARE ILLEGALLY ARRANGED AND OCCUPIED AS SLEEPING QUARTERS... NO SECONDARY MEANS OF EGRESS OR NATURAL LIGHT/VENTILATION PROVIDED."
The vacate order has also temporarily closed the ground-floor retail tenant — Pinky's Village Spa. Not sure why they need to close for an issue with residential occupancy in the building's basement.
Public records list Icon Realty as the building's landlord.
