196 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10013

196 Avenue of the Americas is a 9-story, 20-unit commercial building in SoHo, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Jeremy Marshall. The building's recent history has included several significant events, particularly in 2023-2024, when multiple violations were recorded regarding a sidewalk shed installed by Xinos Construction Corp, including inadequate lighting ($2,500 penalty) and missing project information signage ($1,250 penalty).

In early 2024, there was a complaint about the elevator's single device and lack of alternate service, though no violations were found during the inspection. The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent control measures, with regular inspections showing passing results in 2023-2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in March 2022.

While there was one rat sighting complaint in 2018 and a food safety complaint about bare hands in contact with food in 2020, both were resolved without recurring issues. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record for the past six reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, with zero infested or eradicated units reported in each annual filing. The property has also shown compliance with various Department of Buildings inspections and permits, including multiple electrical work permits issued in late 2020.
