17 Pitt Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 26-story residential building at 17 Pitt Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, built in 1972 and containing 200 units, has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns in recent years under owner Erika Brandt. As of July 2025, the building has multiple open and recently resolved complaints, with particular attention needed to ongoing rodent issues, including black rat activity detected in June and July 2025, and an open unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage from April 2025. The building has also faced challenges with various interior conditions, including multiple closed complaints from March-April 2025 regarding walls, cabinets, and flooring, though many of these inspections were unable to access the units for verification.
The property has a notable history of pest management issues, with recent violations confirmed in apartments 5F and 9C in 2024 indicating infestations of cockroaches and mice, respectively. Elevator safety has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about "Multiple Devices on Property" in 2023-2024, though inspections generally found no violations. Several recent building systems and safety matters were documented in 2024-2025, including issues with scaffolding safety and tenant safety inspections, though many complaints were either dismissed or resolved. The building's maintenance history shows consistent efforts to address violations, as evidenced by the closure of numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations throughout 2024-2025.
Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years, and the most recent environmental inspection in December 2024 showed no violations. The building's maintenance and inspection history suggests an ongoing need for attention to basic building maintenance and pest control, though many historical violations have been addressed. Recent rodent activity and open unsanitary condition complaints from 2025 indicate continuing challenges with building upkeep. The property has complied with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years, and has addressed various maintenance code violations as they arise, though some recent complaints have shown difficulties with inspection access and timely resolution.
