14 Jay Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

14 Jay Street is an 8-story, 7-unit commercial alteration building constructed in 1882 in Tribeca, currently owned by Maria Nardone. The building has experienced several notable events in recent years, particularly regarding construction safety and maintenance. In 2022, there was a period of facade repair work that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations for safety compliance issues, including the use of expired suspended scaffolding and failure to designate a competent person to supervise scaffold operations, with penalties totaling $6,250.

The building has also undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in July 2023 showing compliance, though there was a notable cluster of rat sightings in September 2021 that prompted multiple health inspections, all of which ultimately passed. The Department of Buildings records indicate recurring concerns about building stability, with complaints about shaking/vibration in both March 2020 and November 2022, though inspections found no violations at those times. There was also a period in 2020 with multiple complaints about "Work Without Permits," and a December 2021 tenant safety inspection resulted in an OATH violation being served.

The elevator system has been subject to inspections and violations, with a 2019 violation noting failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, though this was later dismissed. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020 to 2024 showing zero infested units. The property has shown consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing multiple assessments over the years except for the one mentioned in 2021, and all recent construction-related violations have been resolved.
