57 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 57 Sullivan Street in SoHo, owned by Bob Coulter, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around pest management and heat/hot water systems. Most recently, in July 2023, there was a reported rodent sighting that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found during the inspection.

The building has a concerning pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive open violations from 2021 through 2024 related to failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code. These violations remain open as of October 2023. The property has experienced intermittent rodent activity, with inspections in 2022 showing rat activity in both March and April, though followed by passed inspections in 2023 and 2024.

A heat and hot water emergency complaint was filed in December 2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building's rodent inspection results show a mix of compliance and activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, suggesting some improvement in pest management. While there have been specific incidents of concern, the building does regularly undergo inspections and tends to address violations when identified, though some issues persist over extended periods.
