56 Pine Street, Manhattan, NY 10005
The 16-story, 90-unit condominium at 56 Pine Street in the Financial District, constructed in 1894, has experienced several recurring infrastructure issues over recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems. Notable patterns include multiple heat/hot water complaints in both 2019 and late 2022, with tenants frequently reporting lack of service in either individual apartments or the entire building.
Plumbing and water supply issues were similarly documented during these periods. More recently, as of October 2023, there was a pest-related sanitation complaint that HPD was unable to inspect, which remained unresolved as of March 2024. The building has also faced various safety and maintenance challenges, including a broken window guard in early 2019, and several open housing maintenance code violations related to required safety postings in the lobby area from inspections in 2018-2024.
Recent Department of Buildings (DOB) concerns include active complaints regarding elevator devices and restroom compliance as of 2025, and two significant facade-related complaints from 2024 regarding safety notifications. While the building maintains a strong record of pest management with zero reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistently passes rodent inspections, the frequency of heating system issues and the persistence of certain outstanding violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The condominium has generated multiple work permits over the years, with the most recent facade-related work noted in 2024, and has seen several DOB violations dismissed or resolved through proper procedures, including a 2022 construction safety citation that was ultimately rescinded.
