54 Pine Street, Manhattan, NY 10005

54 Pine Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building located in New York City's Financial District, owned by Gregory Haye and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring elevator issues over the past several years, with multiple complaints regarding elevator service interruptions and safety violations between 2018 and 2025.

The most recent incidents in 2025 involved elevator service problems and sidewalk shed/scaffold concerns, though inspections determined no violations were warranted at that time. The elevator system has been a persistent area of concern, with violations in 2021 noting the absence of door lock monitoring as per NYC building code requirements, and previous issues documented in 2019 and 2018 related to access and safety equipment. The building's health and safety record shows generally positive maintenance, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years (2020-2024) and consistent passing grades on rodent inspections from 2010 through 2021.

The property has demonstrated compliance with environmental control board requirements, resolving violations related to elevator safety equipment and access issues, though some violations from 2018 and 2019 carried penalties that were subsequently marked as resolved with no balance due. Recent sidewalk shed complaints in 2025 were addressed promptly, though the need for such structures suggests ongoing maintenance work. While the building has maintained basic safety standards with no recent major violations, the recurring elevator issues over several years represent the most significant pattern of service interruptions affecting residents.
