106 Greenwich Street, Manhattan, NY 10006

106 Greenwich Street is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Financial District, owned by Hersel Torkian and built in 1900. The building has experienced several recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems from 2020 through 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Preservation Department (HPD) indicating inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, particularly affecting apartment 14 on the 5th floor. Most recently, there have been concerns about indoor air quality in 2024, with multiple complaints regarding chemical vapors and ventilation issues.

The building has also faced some structural and maintenance challenges, including active ECB violations as of January 2024 related to step cracks at the 2nd and 3rd floor levels of the exterior facade, and several open violations from 2022-2023 related to inadequate heat supply, hot water, and maintenance requirements. The property has a documented history of building stability concerns, with multiple complaints about shaking and vibration between 2023-2024, though inspections did not warrant violations in some cases. While the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program with no reported infestations since 2019, several important safety and maintenance violations remain unresolved as of 2024.

These include open violations from 2022 requiring proper posting of building information, including emergency procedures, heat system access, and carbon monoxide detector requirements in common areas. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and work being performed, with several electrical and plumbing permits issued in 2019-2020. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2011 through 2018, indicating effective pest control measures, and recent bedbug filings for 2023-2025 show no reported infestations.
