20 Clinton Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

20 Clinton Street is a 6-story, 38-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Mark Carvell and constructed in 1930. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, as of 2023, there is an active violation for failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection, and there was a concerning elevator safety violation in 2020 regarding the lack of door lock monitoring, which incurred a $1,250 penalty.

The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with reports showing one infested unit in 2022 and none in 2023-2024, though the complete history indicates periodic issues between 2018-2024. Access issues have hindered inspections and compliance efforts, including failed access during investigations of illegal hotel rooms in 2018 and Local Law 188 compliance inspections in 2021. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding rodent control, passing inspections consistently between 2020 and 2025, with only one failed inspection noted in November 2023 for unspecified reasons.

The property has had two East-West permits issued in 2020 and 2021, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the available records. While the building has experienced various violations and compliance challenges, it's worth noting that many issues have been addressed and closed, including a 2020 elevator violation that was resolved through proper certification despite being initially cited. The current bedbug reporting period (2023-2024) shows no active infestations, and recent rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades.
