215 Bowery, Manhattan, NY 10002

215 Bowery is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Paul Fox. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most critical being an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2023 related to the building's gas-fired boiler system, including concerns about missing discharge pipes, exposed wood beams, inadequate lighting, and a malfunctioning door. The boiler-related complaints continue to be a concern, with an October 2023 complaint resulting in an Oath Violation being served.

The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations from 2017 to present, as demonstrated by eight consecutive annual reports showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The property has passed all recent rodent inspections from 2022-2025, though there were multiple bait applications in July 2022. Infrastructure issues have been documented through various complaints and inspections, including a water supply plumbing complaint in 2019 that resulted in no violations and several building-related complaints in 2020-2023, though most were closed with no violations warranted.

A notable complaint about building vibrations from April 2020 could not be investigated due to access issues. The building has received necessary permits for electrical work in 2019, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements. Recent inspections from 2022-2025 show active management of pest control and maintenance issues, though the active boiler violation remains a significant concern as of the latest available data.
