67 Pitt Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

67 Pitt Street, a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building in the Lower East Side, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, as of June 2025, there are three open HPD complaints regarding flooring/stairs, unsanitary conditions (pests), and paint/plaster issues that require attention. The building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with three separate incidents reported between February 18 and February 27, though one was closed after restoration of services was confirmed.

Additional ongoing issues include problems with windows (multiple complaints), an electric/gas range appliance issue, and concerns about wall conditions. The building's history shows recurring pest problems, with multiple roach infestation violations documented in 2023 affecting apartments GFS and B. There are also serious safety concerns reflected in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including defective or missing self-closing fire doors in the basement area. The property has multiple active ECB violations from 2020-2022 related to failure to comply with commissioner orders, primarily concerning building maintenance issues, with penalties totaling over $16,000 still due.

While the building has maintained a zero infestation rate for bedbugs over the past five reporting periods and passed rodent inspections in early 2025, there have been documented periods of rat activity and failed rodent inspections in late 2022 and 2023. The Department of Buildings records show recurring issues with unauthorized modifications, including a 2019 complaint about unauthorized construction in the cellar area. Accessibility and egress concerns have been documented, with multiple complaints about locked or blocked egress paths in 2019. While some violations have been successfully addressed and closed, including a 2023 fire escape safety inspection, the persistence of multiple open complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges for the property owner, Michael Daniel.
