31 Catherine Street, Manhattan, NY 10038
31 Catherine Street is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in the Two Bridges neighborhood, currently owned by Francesco Rulli. The building, constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with eight emergency complaints registered between November 2022 and January 2024 reporting inadequate heat and hot water across the entire building.
Notably, three of these complaints in January 2024 were closed without inspection due to access issues, and a December 2022 complaint was resolved but showed similar ongoing problems. The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent control between 2022 and 2025, with most inspections passing, though one in September 2023 resulted in failure for "Other Reasons." Recent violations indicate several maintenance issues, particularly affecting Apartment 2. In November 2023, violations were noted for water leaks in the bathroom, pest infestations (including mice and roaches), and problems with doors and wall conditions.
Most of these violations were closed by December 2023, with new issues regarding temperature control, smoke detector functionality, and door self-closing mechanisms documented in September 2024 inspections. The building's safety systems also require attention, with an active violation as of September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report, and an A-class violation from December 2023 regarding rust removal and painting requirements on the fire escape. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with zero reported cases in recent filings up to October 2024, the ongoing heating system issues and various maintenance violations suggest persistent challenges with building infrastructure and systems.
