43 Wooster Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

43 Wooster Street is a 7-story, 10-unit mixed residential/artists building in SoHo, owned by Drew Donovan and constructed in 1885. The building has experienced several significant events over recent years, most notably a pest-related incident in May 2023 that resulted in a Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaint, though inspectors were unable to access the property to verify the conditions.

The building had a documented rodent-related complaint in 2020, though it passed inspection at that time, and recent inspections in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2020 have consistently passed rodent inspections. The elevator system required attention in June 2021, leading to a violation for failure to provide access to the motor room, though this violation was resolved with no penalties. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

A building permit related to elevator work was issued in July 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. While there have been some concerning pest-related complaints in the building's recent history, the property has shown consistent compliance with rodent inspections and has successfully managed to maintain a bedbug-free status for multiple years. The building's maintenance record suggests active management, though the 2023 pest complaint's resolution process was incomplete due to inspection access issues.
