97 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

97 Sullivan Street is a five-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1908 and currently owned by Laurie Zucker. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past six years, with the most concerning being a hot water system failure in December 2019 that prompted an emergency complaint.

This incident was followed by multiple violations related to the boiler system, including an Environmental Control Board violation in October 2019 for a corroded flue pipe and maintenance issues, and another violation in early 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition. While the building has maintained a consistent record of passing annual rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025, there was one documented rat sighting in July 2022, though no violations were found upon inspection. The building's recent history includes a 2023 food establishment complaint related to kitchen/food prep areas, which was addressed, and two Department of Buildings complaints in 2022 and 2023 that were investigated but found to have no violations.

In terms of pest management, the building has consistently filed bedbug reports since 2019, with all reports showing zero infested units, though a violation for failure to file the annual bedbug report was issued in April 2024. The property has also faced boiler-related violations in 2019, with one active violation specific to various maintenance issues including improperly piped equipment and missing safety features, though some violations from 2019 were resolved or dismissed. The building's age and history suggest periodic maintenance challenges, particularly related to its heating and hot water systems, though recent rodent inspections indicate effective pest management practices.
