50 White Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 5-story, 4-unit building at 50 White Street in Tribeca, owned by Richard Hamner and constructed in 1867, has faced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are four active violations from 2023 regarding failures to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2022, while a recent April 2024 violation pertains to the building's facade and balcony maintenance, specifically citing cracked water tables and spalling at the corner slab of the Juliet balcony with a $1,250 penalty.

The building has experienced recurring issues with plumbing and gas systems, including multiple complaints about illegal plumbing work and gas fittings in 2025, and past violations regarding gas inspections in 2019. A concerning pattern emerged in 2019 with complaints about heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building and pest problems, though these were not found to be violations upon inspection. The property has demonstrated challenges with regulatory compliance, as evidenced by multiple violations requiring annual bedbug reporting between 2021-2024, though recent filings indicate no current infestations.

The building's history shows some variability in pest management results, particularly regarding rats, with both passed and failed inspections recorded between 2011-2018. While the building was constructed in 1867, it continues to undergo regular inspections and face new challenges, most recently including access issues for inspectors in 2025. The property's complaint history reveals a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with the most recent focus on plumbing and facade maintenance concerns, though many historic issues have been addressed through various means.
