35 Howard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The five-story joint residential/artists building at 35 Howard Street in SoHo, owned by Atit Javeri, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2024, there was a reported case of mold that prompted inspections by both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code, though no violations were ultimately issued. Apartment 3 has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from March 2024, including requirements to repair plaster surfaces and paint in the bathroom, replace a defective self-closing door latch, and address missing carbon monoxide detecting devices.

The building has a consistent history of passing rodent inspections, with the most recent one in August 2024 showing satisfactory conditions. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate zero infested dwelling units, maintaining an infestation-free record over the past several years. The building's compliance with safety regulations has been under scrutiny, with an open complaint as of October 2024 regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections, though a subsequent inspection in January 2025 resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access.

There have been three annual Bedbug Reporting filings (2022, 2023, and 2024) showing consistent compliance with reporting requirements, and the building has maintained its bedbug-free status. Notable past violations include an "A" class violation for not filing the annual bedbug report in 2022, now resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to inspections, with several permits issued for work at the property in 2019 and 2020, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the data.
