81 St Marks Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

81 St. Marks Place is a 5-story, 25-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 81-83 St. Marks Owner LLC.

The property has experienced recurrent heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints filed between February and March of that year, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify the conditions. More recently, in May 2025, a complaint about food establishment-related pest issues was filed with the Department of Health, and rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025 show mixed results, with both rat activity (November 2023, November 2024) and successful passes (June 2023, June 2025). The building has several open violations from an April 2024 inspection, including issues with self-closing doors, a requirement for a completed certificate of inspection display near mailboxes, and confirmed roach infestations in both a specific unit (4R) and common areas.

Additionally, there are pending violations related to door repairs, removal of encumbrances in public hall areas, and the need to file annual bedbug reports. Historical records show boiler-related complaints in 2021 and 2022, with varying access issues for inspectors. The bedbug reporting history indicates generally good control, with only three infested units reported in early 2021, all of which were noted as eradicated. The building has undergone several permit issuances for alterations between 2019-2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and upgrades to the 125-year-old structure.
