102 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10009

102 St Marks Place, a 17-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement built in 1900 and currently owned by Peter Jakobson Jr, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent heavy water leak reported in November 2024, though this was subsequently addressed according to HPD records. The building has also faced recurring pest-related challenges, with complaints about unsanitary conditions and pest infestations in 2024 and 2023, including multiple Food Establishment violations related to rodents/insects/garbage issues in 2023.

While the property had one significant violation in April 2021 regarding failure to file an annual bedbug report, this appears to have been an administrative oversight rather than a reflection of current conditions, as subsequent annual filings from 2021-2024 show no reported infestations or eradications. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with most recent inspections (including May 2025, November 2024, and July 2023) passing with no reported violations, though there was one incident of rat activity noted in June 2023. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the initial violation in 2021.

Several complaints regarding unauthorized work and sidewalk shed conditions were filed in 2022, but inspections found no violations. The owner has obtained necessary permits for work completed in 2018, including electrical and plumbing modifications. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water and pest control, recent inspections suggest improvements in rodent management, and the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021.
