60 Pearl Street, Manhattan, NY 10004

The five-story commercial building at 60 Pearl Street in the Financial District, built in 1830 and currently owned by Jonathan Bakhash, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, as of June 2025, there are open emergency housing maintenance code complaints regarding smoke detector and electrical wiring safety concerns.

The building has a documented history of pest management compliance, with bedbug reports consistently showing zero infested units from 2019 through 2025, though there has been persistent rodent activity noted in recent inspections from 2021 to 2023. The property has faced multiple challenges with obtaining building inspections and compliance checks.

Recent Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections from 2023-2024 indicate repeated failure to gain access for inspection, with several cases noted as "2nd Final Attempt." The building's history includes a period of unauthorized use as a physical treatment establishment in 2022, when the second floor was cited for illegal occupancy and construction of unauthorized massage rooms and facilities, though these violations were ultimately resolved. A concerning pattern of heating and hot water issues was documented in February 2021, though those complaints were closed without access verification. While the building has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, the recent open safety complaints suggest ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.
