52 Lispenard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 7-story, 6-unit building at 52 Lispenard Street in Tribeca, owned by Peter Stratigakis and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years, primarily related to elevator safety concerns and regulatory compliance. In 2020, the building faced significant elevator safety violations, including a complaint about a single elevator device without alternate service, which led to a $3,125 penalty (reduced to $2,380) for failing to install required door lock monitoring as mandated by the NYC Building Code.

The building has also had multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including one in 2020 for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation, and another for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved. The building's maintenance record shows regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2018, with most passing except for noted rat activity in early 2011 and early 2012, suggesting some historical pest control challenges, though recent inspections have consistently passed.

Importantly, there have been no reported cases of bedbug infestations in any of the past six annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management in recent years. The most recent permit activity on record is from November 2018 for an unspecified work type. While the building has faced various regulatory challenges, most have been resolved or dismissed, and recent years have shown improved pest control outcomes.
