71 Warren Street, Manhattan, NY 10007

71 Warren Street is a five-story, five-unit commercial altered Class A building located in Tribeca, owned by Robert Brown and constructed in 1893. The building has experienced several notable incidents over the past decade. Most recently, there was a complaint about illegal hotel rooms in August 2024, which resulted in access denial during inspections in December 2024.

In 2020, there was a complaint regarding building shaking or vibrating, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building has had two DOB violations in 2020 and 2021, both of which were resolved - one was dismissed based on subsequent reports showing defects had been corrected. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing pest control concerns, with bedbug reporting showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024, including three consecutive years (2022-2024) with zero infested or eradicated units.

However, there is a concerning pattern of rodent activity noted in inspections from 2015 through 2018, with rat activity recorded in the building during multiple inspections, particularly in 2015 and 2017. The most recent rodent inspections in 2018 did show passing results, indicating improved conditions, though the building has not undergone any documented rodent inspections since then. The building’s maintenance record shows attention to safety and compliance requirements, with timely filing of bedbug reports and resolution of various violations, though the illegal hotel room complaint from 2024 suggests ongoing challenges with unauthorized uses of the building.
