240 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
240 Elizabeth Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by David Habif and located in the Nolita neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably during 2023-2024, when multiple violations were recorded related to fire safety, self-closing doors, and gas infrastructure, including an open Class C violation for an uncapped gas pipe in an apartment kitchen.
Four consecutive years of failed annual boiler inspection reports (2020-2023) have resulted in active violations and penalties totaling $655. The building has undergone multiple emergency door/windown repairs in late 2022, and various maintenance issues were addressed in 2018, including problems with flooring, walls, plumbing, and appliances. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a relatively good safety record in recent inspections, with passing results for rodent inspections and bedbug reporting showing minimal infestation (only one reported infested unit in 2023 with six units treated).
The property has undergone regular tenant safety inspections which have generally resulted in compliance findings, though recent inspections in 2024 revealed several open violations related to fire safety systems and waste management. The recent bedbug reports filed in 2024 and 2025 indicate no current infestations, suggesting effective pest management practices. The building's environmental control board violations from 2018 regarding electrical issues have been resolved, though historical patterns of non-compliance with inspection requirements are evident through multiple active violations related to boiler inspections and other safety requirements.
