147 Duane Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

147 Duane Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building in Tribeca, constructed in 1856 and currently owned by Anthony Cora. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were concerns about heating and hot water systems in September 2022, with HPD unable to access apartments for inspection, though subsequent bedbug reports showed no units affected.

The building has had recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to file the required annual reports, though recent filings from 2023-2024 indicate no infestations occurred during those periods. The building's elevator system has been a source of concern, with a violation issued in April 2020 for failing to install mandatory door lock monitoring equipment, resulting in a $1,250 penalty, which has since been resolved. There were also two DOB violations recorded in 2020-2021 regarding failure to certify corrections for hazardous violations.

Positively, the building has maintained a clean record in recent rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2010-2018. Permits for plumbing and electrical work were issued in 2019, suggesting some maintenance activities were undertaken during that period. While the building has experienced various compliance issues over the years, recent bedbug reporting and rodent inspection results indicate improved conditions, though the heating system access issues in 2022 and elevator violations are notable concerns from recent years.
