131 Duane Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
The 5-story commercial building at 131 Duane Street in Tribeca, built in 1862 and owned by Adam Reisman, has undergone several significant events over the past few years, most notably a major construction project between 2021 and 2024 that triggered numerous Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations. During this period, there were multiple issues regarding construction safety compliance, including two "Oath Violation Served" citations in October 2021, concerns about inadequate scaffolding and safety netting in October 2021, and multiple stop work orders related to safety violations. The construction project generated several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in late 2022 regarding site safety and equipment placement, though all were eventually resolved.
The building has faced several health and safety-related issues, including rodent sightings in 2021 and 2020 (with inspections showing rat activity in 2021), and multiple indoor air quality complaints in July 2020. Two bedbug report violations were recorded in 2021 and 2022, though the building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no infestations reported in the past three filing periods up to 2024. The building's maintenance record shows several violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, and in 2023 there were violations issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspections, though these were subsequently dismissed.
Recent inspections show improved conditions, with rodent inspections in 2023 passing without issues. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and activity, with multiple construction and alteration permits issued between 2020 and 2022, suggesting ongoing building improvements. While the property has experienced multiple health and safety incidents over the past few years, recent records indicate improved compliance with health and safety regulations, though the concentration of construction-related violations during the 2021-2024 period warrants attention.
