143 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
143 Sullivan Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in SoHo, built in 1875 and currently owned by Claudine Gruen. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years, with notable concerns including multiple unresolved fire safety violations documented in 2018-2020 regarding a fire escape drop ladder shoe requirement, and a 2018 violation in apartment 13 related to self-closing door functionality.
Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open from 2018 inspections, including requirements for proper signage regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in the first-story public hall. More recently, the building has faced documentation issues, with active violations as of April 2023 and September 2024 regarding failure to file required external low pressure inspections for 2022 and 2023, though one violation from 2019 was dismissed in 2023. The property has maintained a record of regular rodent inspections, consistently passing these checks from 2016 to 2025, and has shown no reported bedbug infestations in the past five annual reports from 2020-2024.
Recent service requests in 2023-2024 have included complaints about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage and indoor air quality issues, though both were investigated by city agencies and resulted in no violations being cited. The building's systems have received attention through various work permits issued between 2018-2021, though the specific nature of these improvements is not detailed in the available data. While the building has regularly undergone inspections and responded to various complaints, the persistence of certain safety violations and maintenance issues, particularly around emergency systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems compliance.
