85 Leonard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

85 Leonard Street is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building located in Tribeca, dating back to 1861 and currently owned by Tamika Givans. The building has had several notable incidents affecting resident quality of life and safety over the past few years. In 2022, there was a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint regarding indoor air quality with reports of chemical vapors, though this was resolved with an advisory to the property management.

Most concerning was an illegal plumbing installation discovered in March 2022, involving unauthorized work on a water filtration system in the cellar, which resulted in a violation being served. The building experienced a regulatory compliance issue in 2021 when it failed to file its annual bedbug report, though all subsequent reports from 2020 through 2024 have indicated zero infestation cases. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018, all of which passed, suggesting effective pest control measures.

The building has had some violations recorded between 2020-2022, though these were ultimately dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrections were made. Multiple permits were issued in 2018 and 2019, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance or improvements. The bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2024 shows consistent compliance with no reported infestations during any of the annual reporting periods. The property management appears to have maintained regular filings for pest control and bedbug monitoring, though the initial failure to file the bedbug report in 2021 did result in a violation being recorded.
