25 Prince Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

25 Prince Street is a four-story, three-unit old law tenement building located in Nolita and owned by Tom Sachs, dating back to 1910. The building's recent history shows several notable maintenance and compliance issues, most prominently an indoor air quality complaint in January 2025 regarding ventilation, which resulted in an advisory to the owner. The property has experienced recurring administrative violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2024, though subsequent filings from 2022-2024 show no reported infestations, with all inspections passing.

The building underwent significant scrutiny regarding storefront signage in 2023-2025, with multiple violations for illegal business signs resulting in an active $6,250 penalty. Elevator safety concerns emerged in 2020-2022, including a violation for missing door lock monitoring installation, though this was ultimately resolved. Multiple construction-related complaints were made in early 2025, including allegations of work beyond approved plans and smoking on a construction site.

However, inspectors were either unable to gain access or found no violations warranting enforcement. The property has maintained a good record in other areas, passing regular rodent inspections consistently from 2016 to 2025, and showing no elevator-related violations since 2020. While the building has faced periodic violations and complaints, most have been administrative in nature rather than directly impacting resident safety or habitability, and many have been resolved through proper channels.
