80 Delancey Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

80 Delancey Street is a 6-story, 29-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Eric Nelson. The building has experienced recurring heating and water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about inadequate heat, including one as recent as January 2025, and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building in November 2023.

There have also been significant concerns about unsanitary conditions, including mold (November 2024) and multiple reports of rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 passing but showing previous rat activity in 2024. The building's safety infrastructure has been a focus of multiple violations, particularly regarding fire safety doors, with open violations as of October 2024 for defective self-closing doors at the bulkhead. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, including rodent infestations, water leaks, and garbage storage problems.

Between 2018-2019, there were several significant violations relating to occupancy issues, where the building was found to be occupied contrary to its Certificate of Occupancy, along with multiple failures to comply with Commissioner's orders and file correction certificates, resulting in penalties totaling over $11,000. While the building has generally passed recent rodent inspections and has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, the recurring heating, water, and mold issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections have shown some progress in addressing safety concerns, with most fire door violations being resolved after inspections in 2024, though as of the latest data, there are still active violations requiring attention.
