180 Water Street, Manhattan, NY 10038
The building at 180 Water Street is a 24-story, 573-unit residential property constructed in 1971 and currently owned by Nathan Berman. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage filed in April 2025. The building has also faced recurring challenges with its elevator system, evidenced by two emergency violations in early 2022 related to safety requirements, though these were later resolved. Of particular concern is the recent pattern of bedbug infestations, with reports filed in 2022, 2023, and 2024, though all affected units were reportedly eradicated.
The building experienced multiple system-related issues in January 2022, including problems with heat/hot water, electrical systems, and safety equipment, though inspections did not result in violations. The elevator system has been a recurring focus, with violations documented in 2019-2020 regarding door lock monitoring requirements, leading to fines that were subsequently resolved. The property underwent a significant fire safety inspection in 2022, during which issues with sprinkler systems and fire escapes were identified but eventually closed with no violations. More recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown compliance with various safety and maintenance requirements, including a passed heat/hot water inspection in June 2024, though a food-related complaint involving pet/animal issues was logged in May 2025.
Regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent in 2021 passing successfully, and multiple work permits have been issued for various maintenance and repair work between 2019-2020. The building's maintenance history shows a mixture of compliance and recurring issues, particularly regarding garbage storage, elevator systems, and periodic bedbug infestations. While many violations have been resolved through inspection and correction, the current open unsanitary condition complaint suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained regular inspections for safety systems and has generally complied with requirements for bedbug reporting and eradication, though recent reports indicate continued monitoring of infestation issues.
