53 Murray Street, Manhattan, NY 10007

The six-unit, six-story building at 53 Murray Street in Tribeca, owned by Meyer Appel, has maintained a generally good record since its construction in 1856 as a joint residential/artists building. The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent reports for 2023-2024 showing zero infested units, and similar clean records for the past several years.

All rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025 have been passed, indicating effective pest control measures are in place. The building has experienced three recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though these appear to have been administrative rather than indicative of an actual infestation problem. More recently, in January 2024, there were two complaints filed regarding unauthorized plumbing work and work without a permit in the occupied multiple dwelling, though both complaints were resolved without violations being warranted.

A complaint about illegal hotel rooms in the building from December 2021 was also investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. While there have been several Department of Buildings violations noted between 2019 and 2022, all were resolved and dismissed based on subsequent reports showing corrections had been made. The building's annual bedbug reporting requirements are now being consistently met, with the most recent filing on December 26, 2024, showing no active or previously infested units, and all rodent inspections continue to show compliance with the city's health and safety standards.
