40 Prince Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

40 Prince Street is a 6-story, 23-unit mixed-use building located in Nolita and owned by Divya Rashad, dating back to 1900. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent concerns centered around heating and electrical systems in early 2025, including an emergency heat/hot water complaint and a power outage.

A significant pattern of pest-related issues emerged between 2023 and 2024, with multiple complaints regarding rodents, insects, and garbage in food establishment areas, though recent rodent inspections as of early 2025 have shown improvement, passing inspection after previous baiting efforts. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested units across multiple reporting periods. The Department of Buildings (DOB) records indicate several previous violations and complaints, including elevator issues in 2023, multiple construction-related complaints in late 2021-2022, and safety concerns regarding adjacent buildings in 2021.

There are two active ECB violations related to exterior maintenance and facade conditions from 2019, requiring attention to building preservation. The property has undergone various permits and work activity over recent years, with permits issued in 2021-2023 for electrical and alteration work, suggesting ongoing improvements to the building's systems and infrastructure. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges over recent years, recent inspections and reports indicate some progress in addressing these issues, particularly in terms of pest control and compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
