19 Essex Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

19 Essex Street is a 5-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Garret Linn. The building has maintained a generally positive record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last five compliance reports (2019-2024), and all rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have passed, with only one failure in October 2022 noted for "Other Reasons." The property faced some administrative challenges regarding bedbug reporting requirements, receiving Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations have since been closed.

A smoking violation was recorded and closed in 2023-2024, and the building experienced a Department of Buildings violation in 2023 for failure to file a 2020 external low pressure inspection, which was subsequently dismissed. An environmental control board violation was issued in 2018 concerning construction document compliance for work in the first-floor store, which was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's recent history suggests active management attention to regulatory compliance, with timely addressing of most violations.

The property has generally maintained compliance with safety and health regulations, as evidenced by the successful completion of multiple rodent inspections and the absence of documented pest infestations in recent years. However, the building has experienced periodic issues with regulatory compliance in specific areas like bedbug reporting and pressure system documentation, though these issues appear to have been addressed through appropriate channels. The most recent inspections and filings indicate current compliance with major health and safety requirements as of 2025, with all rodent inspections passing and the most recent bedbug report showing no affected units.
