23 Peck Slip, Manhattan, NY 10038

The 6-story building at 23 Peck Slip in the Financial District, currently owned by Julien Kiguel, has experienced ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges since at least 2022. The building, constructed in 1900 and containing 20 units, has faced numerous heat and hot water issues, particularly in late 2022 and early 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). While some of these issues were addressed, violations were issued for inadequate heat supply and broken heating units in December 2022. More recently, in September 2024, two violations were issued regarding elevator safety and self-closing doors, though these were subsequently closed.

The property has also encountered regulatory scrutiny in 2023, with multiple construction-related complaints resulting in partial and full stop work orders in April 2023. Environmental concerns have emerged, including an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding improper exhaust discharge, though more recent inspections show no active rodent issues. The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in recent years. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have identified and addressed various maintenance issues, including elevator mirror requirements, door repairs, and heating system access concerns.

Three active DOB violations remain open as of July 2025, primarily related to exterior low-pressure system inspections. The building's history shows a pattern of heat and maintenance issues, particularly impacting resident comfort and building systems, though many recent violations have been addressed through inspections and repairs. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, and while rodent concerns were documented between 2018-2021, recent inspections show improved conditions. The building's management has engaged with regulatory agencies to resolve most identified issues, though some recent violations related to inspections and exterior systems remain open as of October 2023.
