45 Lispenard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
45 Lispenard Street is a 9-story mixed-use building in Tribeca, housing 16 units and built in 1896, currently owned by Scott Lissner. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being ongoing construction lead dust complaints filed in March 2025. Between August and October 2024, there were multiple emergency maintenance complaints including mold, sewage problems, and various plumbing issues, with particularly notable violations in apartment 1E for mold and window repairs.
The building's boiler system has been a recurring source of problems, with inspections in 2024 revealing ventilation issues requiring a $625 penalty, and previous violations for being defective and/or inoperative. The property has also faced multiple regulatory inspections and complaints related to construction activities, with several "Work Without a Permit" allegations in 2025, some resulting in Oath Violations. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past eight reporting periods (2018-2025), and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018, the recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing management challenges.
The building's elevator system has historical violations dating back to 2019, though these appear to have been resolved. Multiple tenant safety inspections conducted in early 2025 generally found no violations, though there was one Oath Violation served related to a complaint around that time. The property has undergone various permitted renovations and repairs over the past several years, indicating active management response to maintenance needs, though the frequency of recent complaints suggests persistent systemic issues.
