Ephemeral New York has an interesting piece on two East Village backhouses — "a second house (or rear house, as they were known in the 19th century) built behind a street-facing dwelling."
Check out more about these buildings hidden from the sidewalk between 12th Street and 13th Street (Avenue A and First Avenue) at this
link.

There's one on East 9 St too. Between 1st & 2nd (closer to 1st)
There are several around here, including behind 135 Avenue A (where Lucy's is).
I lived in one on 6th st between 1st and 2nd - right between the Raj Mahal and Taj Mahal back then. I believe it was 2003-2011 - wish i had more pics.
Got one in the middle between 528 East 11th Street and 325 East 10th St, belonging to the 10th St address.
