14 Avenue C, Manhattan, NY 10009
14 Avenue C is a 6-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Robert Perl. The building is experiencing numerous and significant maintenance issues as of 2025, with multiple open complaints including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower, toilet), wall paint/plaster issues, mold concerns, and broken window guards all reported in April 2025.
Several previous HPD inspection attempts in March/April 2025 were unsuccessful due to access issues, and there are ongoing concerns about heat and hot water. The building has a series of open violations from a May 2024 inspection of apartment 4D, including issues with self-closing doors, various plumbing fixtures, and safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has shown inconsistent rodent control results, with recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicating both rat activity and successful compliance checks, though patterns of rat presence were noted in 2023-2024.
Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, demonstrating effective pest management in this area. Previous Department of Buildings complaints have included matters relating to Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections and an illegal conversion investigation in 2022, though the latter was closed due to inspection access issues. The building has also faced recurring issues with building access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints being closed without proper inspection access being granted by tenants.
