245 Eldridge Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 6-story, 10-unit tenement building at 245 Eldridge Street, owned by Robert Morgenstern, has experienced several significant building maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, between December 2022 and January 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding window frames, window panes, and heating/hot water issues, though inspections found no violations in most cases. There are also persistent concerns about rodent activity, with several inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicating rat presence, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 passed compliance.
The building has documented water-related issues, including a water leak violation in 2021 and multiple plumbing complaints between 2018 and 2022. Recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 show zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, suggesting effective management of this pest. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing issues in apartment 6F, particularly in 2021 when multiple violations were issued for mold conditions on walls and ceilings, along with various repair needs.
There are several open violations from 2023-2024, including a Class C violation regarding a defective roof door self-closing mechanism. The property has had multiple complaints about work being done without proper permits, particularly in late 2022, though inspections found no violations. The building's systems have undergone various inspections, including low pressure tests in 2018-2024, though several violations were initially issued for failure to file inspection results, these were ultimately dismissed. The most recent tenant safety inspection in November 2023 was found to be compliant, and there have been regular rodent control measures implemented throughout 2023-2025, including bait applications and compliance inspections.
