75 Leonard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

75 Leonard Street is a 6-story, 16-unit residential building located in Tribeca, constructed in 1866 and currently owned by Lewis Helfer. The building has experienced some mechanical issues, particularly with its elevator system - most notably in 2019 when violations were issued for failure to correct defects identified in a 2017 inspection, with similar citations appearing in 2021.

While these violations were ultimately dismissed, they indicate some historical challenges with building maintenance. More recently, in March 2021, a violation was recorded but later resolved with proper elevator certification submitted in April 2022. Despite these mechanical concerns, the building has maintained an impressive record of pest control, with no documented bedbug or rodent infestations in the past 8 years (2016-2024).

The property underwent regular rodent inspections, all of which passed successfully, and has maintained a clean slate in terms of bedbug reports, with zero cases recorded in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. The building has shown consistent compliance with maintenance requirements, as evidenced by the timely submission of elevator certifications and the absence of any significant health or safety violations beyond the elevator-related issues. Additionally, two permits related to electrical work were issued in 2018 and 2019, indicating ongoing maintenance and modernization efforts by ownership.
