53 Nassau Street, Manhattan, NY 10038

The four-story commercial building at 53 Nassau Street, owned by Eduardo Pichardo, has a mixed history of maintenance issues and regulatory inspections since its 1900 construction. Most notably, in March 2020, the building experienced a significant heat and hot water outage that affected all units, generating multiple emergency complaints within a three-day period.

These complaints were interconnected, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) initially unable to gain access to perform inspections, though the issues were ultimately documented as closed. During this same general timeframe, on March 19, 2020, a gas utility referral complaint was filed with the Department of Buildings, though inspectors were again unable to gain access during their inspection attempts on April 22, 2020, leading to an inconclusive resolution.

More recently, the building underwent a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspection in March 2023 related to food establishment letter grading, which was closed in June 2024 - though the resolution indicated that the issue had been addressed. This inspection appears to be the most recent official building interaction on record, and while the specific nature of the food establishment grading is not detailed in the data, it suggests that there is or was a food service component within the building's operations. The Financial District property remains classified as a "Commercial Altered Class A" building, with three units recorded in the current inventory.
