254 Front Street, Manhattan, NY 10038

254 Front Street is an 8-story, 40-unit residential building constructed in 2010 and currently owned by Labinot Gjonbalaj. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating and plumbing systems. Most recently, in late 2024, there was a plumbing complaint regarding a bathtub/shower that could not be inspected due to lack of access, and in December 2023, there was a verified heat/hot water issue affecting a single apartment.

Previous heating-related incidents include a November 2021 complaint about no heat/hot water affecting the entire building, and a May 2021 complaint about heat/hot water in an apartment, both of which had inspection challenges. Other notable incidents include a water leak complaint in May 2021, an electrical lighting issue in late 2020, and an appliance problem in February 2020, all of which were resolved with no violations issued. The building currently has several open violations from a November 2021 inspection, including requirements to properly display inspection certificates, heating system contact information, and building registration details in the first-story public hall.

The property's maintenance record shows generally good pest control management, with rodent inspections consistently passing since 2012, except for a rat activity report in May 2011. There have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since tracking began in 2019, with all recent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units. The building's 311 service request history and housing maintenance code violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with heating systems and building systems infrastructure, though most issues have been addressed through HPD inspections. The multiple open violations from the 2021 inspection regarding building signage requirements should be noted, though these typically relate to administrative compliance rather than direct resident impact.
