55 Clinton Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

55 Clinton Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Nasser Farhadian. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most recently in March 2025, with similar complaints in late 2024 and earlier in 2021 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

These heating system problems, classified as emergencies, have typically been resolved but suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also faced significant maintenance issues in 2021, including multiple water leak complaints (heavy flow, damp spots, and slow leaks), mold problems, and ceiling paint/plaster issues, all of which resulted in emergency complaints. More recent issues were documented in November 2024, when apartment 16 was found to have several violations requiring attention, including defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, door closing mechanisms, and an active mouse infestation, though most other violations from this inspection were subsequently closed.

The building has maintained an active record of compliance with rodent inspections, passing consistently since 2022-2025, and has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations according to the annual reporting requirements between 2021-2024. While there were complaints filed regarding boiler issues in late 2024 and work without permit in 2023, inspections did not reveal any violations. The property has generally demonstrated responsive management to housing maintenance code violations, with most being addressed through proper certification or closure, though some persistent issues suggest ongoing maintenance concerns.
