399 Greenwich Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

399 Greenwich Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building in Tribeca, owned by Vincent Ponte and constructed in 1915. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple 311 complaints filed in April 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage areas, ceiling plaster/paint issues, and damp spots from water leaks. While these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were issued in most cases, and one inspection could not be completed due to access issues.

The building's exterior is currently facing challenges, as evidenced by an April 2024 violation for spalling bricks and cracking on the facades, along with roof cornice deterioration, for which a $625 penalty was imposed. The property has a documented history of pest control issues, particularly in 2023 when multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints were filed regarding food establishment conditions related to rodents/insects/garbage, though these were addressed. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported since 2019.

Rodent inspections between 2015 and 2019 show a mix of results, with some initial failures and subsequent passing grades, indicating intermittent pest control challenges that appear to have been resolved in recent years. Notably, there was an April 2024 complaint regarding building shaking/vibration that resulted in an Oath violation being served, and an October 2023 construction enforcement complaint where inspectors were unable to gain access. The building's most recent bedbug reports for 2024-2025 show no infestation activity, maintaining the property's recent history of bedbug-free status.
