48 Beaver Street, Manhattan, NY 10004

48 Beaver Street is a 9-story, 39-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Francis Greenburger. The Financial District property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heat and water systems. In 2025, there is an ongoing food poisoning complaint involving multiple cases.

Between late 2024 and 2025, there were three separate heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building or individual apartments, with at least one requiring emergency intervention. The building has also faced issues with water damage, mold, and pest infestations, particularly in 2023-2024, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for these conditions. The building has active violations regarding water leakages and mold conditions in Apartment 801 as of October 2023, following a series of related complaints from September-November 2023.

Electrical wiring concerns have been a recurring theme, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019-2025, including three complaints in late 2024 about defective or exposed wiring that were referred to the Department of Transportation. Additionally, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from December 2022 regarding the failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports, with a penalty of $625. However, the building has consistently demonstrated effective pest management, as evidenced by multiple successful rodent inspections between 2011 and 2025, and no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past four years according to the mandatory reporting records. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including sanitary issues and heating problems, it has generally complied with bedbug management requirements and passed regular rodent inspections.
