177 Spring Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

177 Spring Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1878 and currently owned by John Pasquale. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing being a current (as of June 2025) food worker hygiene complaint under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has faced recurring pest issues, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions between 2021 and 2023, particularly involving roaches in the public hallways.

In late 2023, several safety violations were documented in Apartment 5, including defective window stools and issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, for which violations remain open as of October 2023. The building has a history of infrastructure challenges, including heat and hot water problems reported in October 2022, various structural concerns, and multiple environmental control board violations. These include an active violation from July 2024 regarding a malfunctioning bathroom vent in Apartment 5, sloping floors on the 3rd and 4th floors, and issues with broken/defective windows on the 4th floor.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2019, and has maintained a consistent pattern of bedbug reporting showing no infestations between 2022-2024. Historical records also show past concerns with fire safety systems, including issues with fire stopping materials in staircase areas, though most of these violations have been resolved. Recent inspections and complaints indicate ongoing attention required to maintain building standards, particularly regarding safety systems and general maintenance, though many historical issues have been addressed through proper channels.
