90 West Street, Manhattan, NY 10006

90 West Street is a 24-story commercial building constructed in 1908 in New York City's Financial District, currently owned by Peter Levenson and containing 410 units. The building has experienced several recurring issues between 2022 and 2024, with the most significant concerns centering around heat and safety systems. A notable pattern of mold-related complaints emerged throughout 2023, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions requiring inspections, including a specific violation issued in October 2023 for mold in Apartment 9Y.

The building has also faced persistent heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in 2022 and 2024 for both the entire building and individual apartments. Safety concerns have been documented, including broken or missing window guards (2023) and issues with garbage/recycling storage (2023). The elevator system at 90 West Street has been a recurring focus of attention, with multiple complaints regarding devices and safety features between 2018 and 2024.

Several Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2023 related to elevator door restrictor tampering, resulting in penalties. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various safety equipment, including inspections and repairs to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window frames, though some violations remain open as of the most recent inspections (notably from Apartment 17X). While the building has maintained its rodent-free status through regular inspections, with all passing results from 2010 through 2018, the recurring nature of heat, mold, and safety-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has not reported any bedbug infestations in the past six years, with all recent reports showing zero affected units.
