21 Mercer Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

21 Mercer Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building with artist space, constructed in 1861 and currently owned by Bob Milan. The building experienced a significant heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in February 2019, though this issue was resolved within four days according to HPD records.

During the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2020, the building received a violation for conducting construction work in violation of emergency executive orders, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has maintained impressive pest management records, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven annual inspections from 2019 to 2025, and consistent passing results on rodent inspections conducted annually from 2011 through 2024. The property has shown good maintenance practices overall, with multiple permit issuances between 2020 and 2021 for various works, including plumbing and electrical maintenance.

Two DOB violations were recorded in 2020-2021, though no specific descriptions were provided in the available data, and both were ultimately resolved. While the building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, particularly regarding heat and hot water, these problems appear to have been addressed promptly when reported, and there have been no recent complaints of this nature. The property has maintained a stable occupancy record, with all four units regularly participating in bedbug reporting programs, consistently showing zero infestations or related issues.
