433 Washington Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

433 Washington Street is a 6-story mixed-use building located in Tribeca, dating back to 1905 and containing 4 units under the ownership of Vincent J Ponte. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, most notably concerning its elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple complaints between 2019-2022 regarding single device service without alternate options.

The building received an Environmental Control Board violation in 2021 for failing to install mandated door lock monitoring for passenger safety, though this was subsequently resolved with a penalty of $1,250. The building has documented issues with unsanitary conditions in early 2022, including garbage/recycling storage problems and pest infestations, though these complaints were closed without violations being issued following inspections. A 2024 violation indicates non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though the building has consistently reported zero infested or eradicated units in its previous filings from 2021-2024.

Historical data shows previous structural concerns, including detached electrical conduit and dislodged metal cladding in 2019, both of which were resolved. However, the building has maintained a good record in recent rodent inspections, consistently passing requirements from 2010-2018, and there have been no documented rodent-related issues since then. Two housing maintenance code complaints from 2022 involving unsanitary conditions were addressed, and while the building achieved permit approvals for various works in 2019-2020, the persistent elevator and safety compliance issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
