196 Bowery, Manhattan, NY 10012
The 8-story, 7-unit residential building at 196 Bowery, owned by Kin Au, was constructed in 2008 and has maintained a relatively clean record over the past several years. Most notably, the building has undergone regular compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 in April 2023, all of which resulted in no violations being found.
The property has shown consistent attention to safety and maintenance, with no recorded bedbug infestations or reinfestations in the past seven reporting periods from 2018 to 2024, and successful passing results in multiple rodent inspections conducted annually between 2016 and 2025. The building's recent history includes a tattoo-related complaint in February 2025, which was subsequently investigated by the NYC Health Department, though this may be unrelated to the building's residential status.
In terms of violations, records show three DOB violations from 2019-2021 that were resolved, with one being related to elevator issues that were promptly addressed and certified by Robert McKuhan of Rotavele Elevator Company in 2019. The property has undergone regular safety inspections throughout 2022-2023, including multiple Tenant Safety Inspections in March 2023, all of which resulted in no violations. A permit for elevator work was issued in November 2018, suggesting proactive maintenance of building systems.
