137 Duane Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
137 Duane Street is a 19-unit, 5-story commercial altered Class A building located in Tribeca, constructed in 1864 and currently owned by Kellie Ferguson. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints documented between December 2020 and October 2022, though records indicate that these issues were generally resolved promptly. Additional maintenance concerns have included window pane and door problems in Apartment 5A, water leaks, and various code violations.
Notable open violations as of 2024 relate to bedbug reporting requirements, while multiple Class A violations from late 2020 concerning safety notice postings (including smoke detector requirements and gas leak procedures) remain open. The building underwent an October 2024 bedbug inspection reporting no infestation, and records from 2021-2023 indicate successful rodent inspections, suggesting improved pest management. Recent activity includes multiple Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in 2023 that resulted in no violations, and while there were several violations issued for failure to file external low pressure inspections in 2018-2021, these were dismissed by September 2023.
The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2018, with all annual filings indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. Three active complaints regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance from April 2023 were resolved with no enforcement action required. The most recent department of buildings complaint from June 2025 regarding work without a permit has been recorded, with the disposition listed as "Oath Violation Served."
