180 Prince Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

180 Prince Street is a 6-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in SoHo, built in 1874 and currently owned by Karim Raoul. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues, particularly during a cluster of complaints in November 2021 that included problems with heat and hot water, carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, flooring, and ventilation systems. While inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during this period resulted in no violations being issued, there was one Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2021 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though this was subsequently certified as corrected in July 2021.

Recent developments include a 311 complaint in March 2025 regarding rodent and insect issues in a food establishment, which was closed following a Health Department response. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025. There are several active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections, and one from 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report.

Additional building activity includes multiple permits issued in 2024 and 2025 for plumbing and other work, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvements. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to present shows zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management, and rodent inspections have consistently passed. While there have been various maintenance issues documented over the years, most recent records show fewer serious violations, though some active violations regarding inspection filings remain outstanding.
