113 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

113 Sullivan Street is a 5-story, 29-unit residential building located in SoHo, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Albert Berkowitz. The building has experienced several recurring heating and hot water issues, particularly evident in 2018-2020 when multiple HPD complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water for the entire building. These emergency situations were addressed through inspections and repairs, with some instances indicating temporary restoration of services.

The building has also been subject to regular bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings in 2024 showing no infested or re-infested units, though there were four infested units documented in 2022 that were successfully eradicated. Recent inspections in 2023-2025 have shown improvement in rodent control, with the most recent rodent inspections in January 2025 passing successfully, following previous concerns about rat activity in 2022. The property has undergone several administrative inspections resulting in various violations that were subsequently corrected.

These included requirements to properly post safety and maintenance information in common areas, such as gas leak procedures and heating system contact information, as well as failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2021-2022, which were later addressed. Two complaints regarding illegal commercial use and certificate of occupancy issues were investigated in 2020 and 2023, respectively, but no violations were found at the time of inspection. While the building's recent history shows improvements in heating system reliability, rodent control, and bedbug management, the pattern of heat-related complaints in 2018-2020 and the various administrative violations in 2019-2020 indicate past maintenance challenges that have required ongoing attention.
