137 Reade Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

137 Reade Street, a 5-story commercial altered class A building built in 1930 in Tribeca, is currently managed by 137 Reade Street Condominiums and contains 10 units. The building's recent history has been marked by several concerning events, most notably a rodent sighting in July 2023 that resulted in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) violations requiring follow-up inspections. The property has experienced multiple rodent-related incidents, including a food establishment complaint in 2022 and rat activity documented in August 2023, though a subsequent compliance inspection in September 2023 passed.

The building has also had structural concerns, with a "Building Shaking/Vibrating/Struct Stability Affected" complaint filed in May 2025 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record between 2019-2024, with all annual reports showing zero infestation counts. Multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations have been recorded, including an external low-pressure inspection filing failure in June 2023 (dismissed) and an open violation from March 2021. Several construction-related complaints were filed, though recent inspections (October 2023) found no violations warranted.

The building's permit history shows several issued permits in August 2018, mainly related to plumbing and electrical work. While the building has passed numerous rodent inspections over the years (2010-2023), the recent pattern of rodent-related complaints and violations suggests ongoing sanitation challenges. The absence of bedbug infestations in recent years is a positive note, and most historical DOB violations have been resolved. The building's management appears to address issues as they arise, with many violations being dismissed or closed following inspections.
