26 Beaver Street, Manhattan, NY 10004

26 Beaver Street, located in Manhattan's Financial District, is an 18-story commercial building constructed in 1909, currently owned by Jack Lerner and containing 19 units. The building has experienced several significant events over the past five years, with the most pressing being an active DOB violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection. The building has undergone multiple construction and maintenance work periods, as evidenced by several work permits issued between 2019 and 2023, including electrical and plumbing work. The property has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020-2022, when multiple construction safety compliance issues were recorded, including a June 2022 incident involving a worker injury (fall) during façade repairs, though the violation was resolved with no penalty imposed.

There have been recurring rodent-related complaints and inspections between 2012 and 2022, with the most recent passed inspection in April 2022, though previous inspections in 2019 showed rat activity. The building has consistently maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2019-2024). Multiple 311 service requests have been logged, primarily relating to health and safety issues such as smoking violations and unsanitary conditions, though most were either resolved or administratively closed after inspection. The building's inspection history shows periodic scrutiny of safety compliance, particularly during construction periods, with several complaints resulting in inspections that found no violations at the time.

Historical data indicates the building has generally passed rodent inspections, though fewer passed inspections were noted from 2018 onward. The pattern of issued permits, particularly for electrical work, suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems. Four separate environmental control board violations were issued between 2020 and 2022, mostly relating to safety compliance matters during construction work, though these were subsequently resolved. The building continues to be subject to regular safety inspections and reporting requirements, as evidenced by the recent permit issuance in July 2023.
