31 Walker Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The five-story, 1868 building at 31 Walker Street in Tribeca, owned by Robert Moskowitz, has experienced recurring plumbing issues in recent months, with multiple water supply complaints filed and resolved between February 2024 and April 2025. The most recent cluster of water supply complaints occurred in April 2025, involving at least six emergency service requests, all of which were subsequently reported as corrected.

The building has also faced challenges with heating and hot water systems, particularly in February 2024 when multiple complaints were filed, including one that led to a Class C violation for inadequate heat in Apartment 5. This unit has been the subject of several violations since 2022, including issues with window sashes, a fire escape door alteration, and various maintenance matters such as flooring, roof leaks, and rodent infestation – though it successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2018.

The building's recent history also includes several Department of Buildings inspections, with most complaints from 2020-2025 showing "No Violation Warranted" upon inspection, including recent gas and boiler complaints in 2025. While the property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in the past seven years, some historical maintenance issues remain unresolved from 2022, specifically regarding window sashes and interior painting requirements. During the building's history, various improvements and problems have been documented, including emergency plumbing repairs, heating system issues, and the need for various maintenance updates in Apartment 5, which appears to be the primary focus of most building code violations.
