200 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 5-unit, 3-story residential building at 200 Avenue of the Americas in SoHo, owned by John Taggart, dates back to 1833 and has experienced several significant events over recent years. The most concerning issue occurred in late 2021 when the building experienced an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire structure, though these services were reportedly restored within a few days.

The building has had recurring rodent-related complaints, with four reported incidents between 2019 and 2020, though subsequent inspections generally returned passed results, with the most recent rodent inspection in January 2025 also passing. The property has had two Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug report filings in 2021 and 2022, though records indicate no actual bedbug infestations during the subsequent reporting periods from 2022 to 2024, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) showing zero infested units. Following the heat and hot water incident in 2021, there have been no further complaints regarding building-wide service outages.

The building's recent inspection history shows consistent passing results, including five straight passed inspections for rodent presence from 2022 through 2025. While the property faced several compliance challenges between 2019 and 2021, the most recent records (2022-2025) suggest improved maintenance and pest control management, with no active violations on record and all recent inspections showing compliance with health and safety standards. The building remains classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" structure, a designation indicating it has been converted from its original use to residential apartments.
