17 Park Place, Manhattan, NY 10007

17 Park Place is a 6-story, 8-unit converted New Law tenement building located in Tribeca, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Jason Laboz. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent 311 complaint in October 2023 leading to Department of Health inspections that found violations requiring follow-up. The property has undergone regular rodent control measures in 2024, including multiple bait applications and at least one compliance inspection showing rat activity.

The building has maintained an overall good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in the past three consecutive annual reports from 2022 to 2024. The building's safety and maintenance history shows several notable inspections and violations. Two tenant safety inspections were conducted in May-June 2025, both resulting in compliance inspections performed. In 2020, an inspection for illegal hotel rooms found no violations.

The elevator system underwent significant attention in 2019-2020, including multiple violations related to failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, though these were ultimately dismissed with penalties paid. The property has maintained timely compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements, as evidenced by the regular filing of annual bedbug reports, though there were two instances in 2021-2022 where violations were issued for late filing. A notable Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in 2018 concerning elevator hoist rope maintenance, which was resolved with a penalty of $1,562. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly regarding rodents and elevator systems, most violations have been resolved through proper channels, and recent inspections show improved compliance with safety requirements.
