83 Wooster Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The five-story, joint residential/artists building at 83 Wooster Street, owned by Shael Shapiro, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance events since 2018. Most recently, in 2025, the building successfully passed rodent inspections conducted in January, continuing a pattern of consistent compliance with rodent control measures since 2017, with only two rat sighting complaints recorded in 2019 and 2020, both of which were addressed by the Department of Health.

The building faced significant plumbing-related issues between 2022 and 2023, with multiple stop work orders issued and subsequently rescinded, including two notable plumbing complaints in April and December 2022. There were also fire suppression-related violations in late 2022, though these were dismissed by June 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or required treatments on record from 2019 through 2025, including annual bedbug report filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

An environmental control board violation from 2018 regarding an oversized outdoor advertising sign was resolved with a penalty of $10,000, which has since been settled. The building has regularly received necessary permits for various maintenance work, with the most recent plumbing permit issued in February 2025, suggesting ongoing proactive maintenance by the current ownership. The extensive record of passed rodent inspections, combined with the absence of recent bedbug reports, indicates generally stable conditions regarding these specific pest-related issues.
