44 Walker Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The five-story commercial building at 44 Walker Street in Tribeca, owned by Andrew Compton, has undergone several maintenance and safety-related issues since 2010. Most recently, in June 2025, there was a plumbing-related partial stop work order issued due to inactive Licensed Master Plumber status, with an active DOB violation remaining.

Prior to this, the building experienced recurring issues with fire safety, including a February 2023 violation regarding defective self-closing doors at the fire stairs on the 1st story, and annual bedbug report compliance violations in 2021, 2022, and 2024 - though the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicated no infested units and successful eradication. The building's elevator system has had documented issues, with multiple violations between 2019 and 2022 related to inspection failures and defects, though these were ultimately resolved. The property has maintained a good record in terms of pest control, with consistent rodent inspection passes from 2010 through 2018 showing no infestations.

Between 2019 and 2020, three separate work permits were issued under job number 123839677 for elevator-related work. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, most have been addressed through proper channels and have shown patterns of resolution. The most recent concerns primarily relate to plumbing work compliance and the historical bedbug reporting requirement, though recent filings show no active infestations.
