439 Washington Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
The five-story, 12-unit building at 439 Washington Street in Tribeca, built in 1915 and currently owned by Ponte Equities, Inc., has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning are the recurring heat and hot water problems, with recent complaints in December 2024 and October 2022, though inspections did not find violations in these instances.
Between late 2023 and mid-2024, the building received multiple active violations for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections dating back to 2018, representing a significant ongoing compliance issue. The building has also faced challenges with safety systems, including open violations as of 2016 regarding defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices in Unit 12, and historical violations concerning self-closing doors, smoke detector requirements, and signage issues related to housing information guides. The property has documented pest control efforts showing no bedbug infestations since 2020, and while there were some rodent-related issues noted in 2021, subsequent inspections generally passed.
The Department of Health has responded to multiple complaints about unsanitary pigeon conditions between 2021-2022, though follow-up inspections appear to have resolved these issues. The building's overall violation record shows a pattern of maintenance and compliance issues primarily related to safety systems and experimental equipment requirements, while more recent complaints have focused on temperature control systems. Regular bedbug reporting indicates effective management of this particular concern, with no infestations reported in the past four years.
