97 Wooster Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 7-story building at 97 Wooster Street in SoHo, owned by Mak Levin and built in 1897, currently has 6 residential units and is classified as a JOINT RESIDENTIAL/ARTISTS property. The building is experiencing several significant structural concerns as of 2023-2024, most notably an active unsafe façade notification (as of November 2023) and an unresolved Cycle 9C unsafe report filed in December 2023.

There were also recent concerns about building stability, with a complaint about shaking or vibrating in November 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation. The property has maintained good hygiene standards, with no recorded bedbug infestations in any of the annual reports from 2018-2024, all of which showed zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. Additionally, rodent inspections conducted annually from 2018 to 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures.

The building has undergone regular maintenance and inspections, with some violations recorded in recent years primarily related to administrative matters and façade maintenance, including a 2024 ECB violation regarding an unacceptable amended Cycle 9C report filing, though this appears to have been resolved with a zero balance due. Historical records show previous violations related to elevator issues, but these were resolved by May 2022. The property has shown ongoing compliance with housing maintenance codes, though the recent façade and structural concerns warrant attention as the most significant current issues.
