45 Mercer Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
45 Mercer Street is a 5-story, 5-unit mixed residential/artists building located in SoHo and owned by Peachy Mercer LLC. Built in 1868, the building's recent history (2022-2025) reveals several notable maintenance and safety issues. Two significant elevator-related incidents occurred in 2021 and 2022, with one involving alternate service requirements and another concerning access to the motor room, both resulting in Oath Violations. The building's boiler system also presented concerns, with a 2022 violation regarding access that was subsequently resolved.
The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, particularly evident in 2022 with rat activity observed during inspections, though more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed without violations. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2020-2023, with no reported infestations, though an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting remains unresolved. Recent health department inspections in 2024-2025 have focused on food establishment issues, with complaints regarding rodents/insects/garbage and pet/animal concerns, though these were not directly related to the residential portions of the building. The Department of Buildings has documented various permit issuances between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent permits issued in May 2025.
The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing violations through the Environmental Control Board (ECB), with penalties imposed for various deficiencies including boiler access requirements in 2022 ($250 penalty) and motor room access in 2021 ($625 penalty), both of which have been resolved. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections over the years, with the most recent inspections showing compliance, suggesting improvements in pest management. The available data suggests that while the building has faced several maintenance and safety challenges over the past few years, particularly regarding elevator and boiler systems, recent inspections show some improvement in pest control and environmental compliance.
