50 Battery Place, Manhattan, NY 10280

The 9-story, 208-unit residential building at 50 Battery Place, owned by Lisa Dragone and constructed in 1998 in Battery Park City, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2024, there was a cluster of plumbing problems involving water supply issues, with ten separate Housing Maintenance Code complaints filed and subsequently closed, all within a short time frame. These were classified as emergency and immediate emergency situations.

Additionally, three Class C violations were documented in April 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in common areas, including a compactor closet door on the 6th story and an entrance door in apartment 6A, though these violations were also closed by April 17, 2024. The building's history shows a pattern of plumbing and maintenance issues, including five plumbing-related complaints in 2021, though these were resolved promptly. While there were some concerns about unauthorized hotel rooms in 2018 and illegal after-hours work in 2024, both complaints were investigated and found with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.

The property has maintained effective pest control measures, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), though there was one documented case in 2018 that was promptly addressed. Rodent inspections show a pattern of passing results from 2011 through 2018, with some bait applications noted in 2012 during what appears to be routine maintenance. The building's overall condition suggests regular maintenance and prompt response to violations, though the recent cluster of plumbing issues in 2024 indicates there may be ongoing challenges with the building's water infrastructure system.
