48 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The seven-story, 17-unit building at 48 Allen Street, owned by Wally Robinson, has experienced a series of maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in August 2024, there was an attempted inspection related to unauthorized plumbing work, including sprinkler/standpipe concerns, though the inspector was unable to gain access.

This followed a pattern of construction-related complaints, including a 2020 incident involving unauthorized work beyond approved plans, for which an oath violation was served. The building has faced multiple procedural compliance issues, including violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, as well as missing annual boiler inspection documentation for 2017 and FISP Cycle 8B technical report filing deadlines. Between 2020 and 2023, there were several inspections that found no violations, including checks on electrical wiring concerns in 2021 and construction enforcement in 2023.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods from 2022 through 2024, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While the building's violation history shows multiple dismissed violations and non-compliance issues, the recent bedbug reports suggest effective pest management practices. The most significant recent concern appears to be the plumbing work-related complaint from 2024, which remains unresolved due to access issues during inspection attempts.
