96 Grand Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

Located in SoHo, 96 Grand Street is a 6-story, 9-unit mixed residential/artists building constructed in 1868 and currently owned by Vee Zanko. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerning structural stability. In 2022, there were serious incidents involving building safety, including reports of structural monitoring requirements and building vibrations, though these were later closed with an Oath Violation served.

A significant incident occurred in January 2022 when a 6"x2' section of stone dislodged from the third floor, striking a pedestrian and resulting in various facade-related violations, including a currently active ECB violation from October 2023 related to failure to submit an engineer's report regarding these structurally deficient conditions (penalty: $2,500). The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including issues with scaffolding and sidewalk sheds, though most recent complaints have been closed without violations being warranted. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the past seven reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2011 through 2024.

Recent building complaints include an active Special Operations Compliance Inspection initiated in April 2025. While there have been multiple violations and complaints since 2022, many have been resolved, including sidewalk shed violations and various façade-related issues. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of most complaints and the completion of required safety measures, though some violations remain active as of 2025.
