264 Water Street, Manhattan, NY 10038
264 Water Street is a 7-story, 26-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1886, currently owned by Kimberly Tambascia. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints documented in both May 2025 and December 2024, though each was resolved promptly according to HPD records. A significant concern is the building's facade maintenance, with multiple active ECB violations as of 2024-2025, including issues with a shifted/detaching metal cornice, missing stucco masonry, and removal of public protection from an unsafe facade.
These violations carry substantial penalties totaling $21,250. The building's history shows periods of construction activity in 2023, resulting in temporary stop work orders, and earlier complaints regarding indoor air quality, including construction dust and chemical odors in September 2023. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug eradication, with no reported infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.
While there were multiple instances of rodent activity documented between 2016-2018, recent inspections show improved conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection passing. The building's violation history shows some concerning patterns, including multiple failures to certify correction of immediately hazardous violations in 2024-2025, and a 2021 façade safety notification that remains active. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and exterior upkeep, particularly concerning the facade and temperature control systems, which have been the subject of multiple complaints and violations over recent years.
