42 Lispenard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The five-story commercial building at 42 Lispenard Street in Tribeca, owned by Stefan Milan and built in 1915, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. The most notable recent incident involved elevator safety concerns in July 2020, where the building was cited for not having a door lock monitoring system installed in accordance with 2014 building codes, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

The property has a persistent pattern of failing to file required safety inspection reports, particularly for external low pressure inspections from 2018-2020 and boiler inspections from 2017, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. An earlier elevator inspection violation from 2019 was paid, while a failure to certify correction of an immediate hazard violation in 2020 was also dismissed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all six annual filings from 2019-2024 reporting zero infested or eradicated units.

Rodent inspections have been consistently passed, with eight consecutive successful inspections between 2010 and 2018, indicating good general pest control. A permit for work was issued in February 2021 under job number 123117634. While the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control and bedbug management, the recurring pattern of missed inspection filings and safety violations, particularly regarding elevator systems and pressure equipment, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements, though most recent violations have been resolved or dismissed.
