45 Beekman Street, Manhattan, NY 10038

45 Beekman Street is a 5-story, 8-unit joint residential/artists building located in the Financial District, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Dylan Pichulik. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2023, with multiple complaints filed between August and November 2023, including three separate building-wide heat/hot water complaints in November alone.

Additionally, there have been several general cooking gas complaints during this period, including a notable cluster of such complaints in August-September 2023. More seriously, the building currently has multiple open violations from July 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at fire exits, and from February 2024 concerning defective carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in Apartment 4N. A violation related to the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection was issued in June 2023 and remains active.

The building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and ongoing issues; while recent bedbug and rodent inspection records from 2021-2025 show generally favorable results (with rat activity noted only in September 2021), the building has faced significant safety system challenges in recent years. The Department of Buildings has two notable complaints on record: one from February 2022 concerning a missing Certificate of Occupancy, and another from December 2018 regarding an illegal storefront sign, though both were ultimately closed without clear violations being sustained upon inspection. The building's record shows consistent patterns of heat, hot water, and safety system maintenance issues, particularly areas related to emergency systems like fire doors and detection equipment.
