119 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

119 Sullivan Street is a historic 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1894 and currently owned by Albert Berkowitz. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints logged in 2024, 2023, and 2018 for both entire building and apartment-specific problems, though these were subsequently reported as resolved. The building underwent several maintenance inspections in 2019, revealing multiple violations including requirements for bedbug reporting, electrical repairs, and various painting and maintenance tasks, most notably involving defects in Apartment 20's ceilings and walls.

An important safety inspection from 2006 identified issues with smoke detectors and fire escape obstructions in Apartment 20, though these violations were later closed. The building's recent history shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections between 2016 and 2025, and maintaining a clean record in bedbug reporting, with all annual filings from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units. Multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and commercial space use in 2022 were either unsubstantiated or resulted in no violations being found.

The property has maintained relatively good overall building health, with the most recent inspections and permit filings showing no major ongoing issues. The bedbug reporting history indicates diligent monitoring, with zero infestations reported in the past six years. Most recently, in 2024, the building received a minor violation regarding annual bedbug reporting in April 2024, which appears to have been addressed based on subsequent filings.
