177 Duane Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

177 Duane Street is a 6-story, 11-unit residential building located in Tribeca, built in 1880 and currently owned by Hadley Seward. The building has a documented history of pest-related issues, particularly in its food establishment areas, with multiple complaints recorded between 2018 and 2024 concerning rodents, insects, and garbage.

Most recently, in August 2024, there were two simultaneous complaints about food establishment pest issues, though these and previous incidents were investigated by the NYC Health Department, which typically did not find violations. The building is currently facing an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though the building's bedbug reports from 2019-2022 show no documented infestations or eradications, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The property's infrastructure has undergone necessary inspections and maintenance, with Department of Buildings violations from 2020 being resolved in 2022.

Regular rodent inspections have consistently resulted in passing grades since 2010, including the most recent inspection in May 2023. While there have been multiple health-related complaints regarding the building's food establishment areas, it's worth noting that these issues have been addressed and closed through appropriate channels, and the building has maintained compliance with rodent control regulations through successful inspections. The building's record shows active management of health and safety requirements, though the pattern of recurring food establishment complaints suggests this area requires ongoing attention.
