170 Delancey Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 22-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 170 Delancey Street, owned by Steven Oved, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly regarding building systems and sanitation conditions. Most notably, as of November 2024, there is an open HPD complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage that remains unresolved.
The building has recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with complaints documented in 2022 (apartment-specific), 2019 (entire building), and various sanitation concerns including open garbage storage problems (2024, 2023) and pigeon waste (2023). Significant violations were recorded in 2018-2020 regarding failure to maintain building conditions, including issues with facade maintenance and emergency systems, though most of these were resolved with penalties totaling $7,500. Recent inspections show ongoing attention to pest control, with bedbug reports indicating no infestations from 2020 through 2024, and rodent inspections consistently passing since 2021, though there was one failed inspection in June 2023.
The building has open violations from 2021 related to apartment 11, including issues with unauthorized alterations, missing smoke detectors, pest infestations, intercom system problems, and various other maintenance concerns. Two active DOB violations from 2020 and 2024 remain, regarding external low pressure inspection filing and failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions. The property has maintained generally good compliance with rodent inspections, passing all recent inspections in 2024 and 2025, though there was one failure noted in mid-2023.
