149 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
The 33-unit, 6-story tenement building at 149 Sullivan Street in SoHo, owned by Stephen Siow and constructed in 1906, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2024, there were multiple complaints about pest infestations, including three related complaints in May 2024 for which violations were issued, and persistent issues in October 2024 that were closed due to lack of access for inspection. Additionally, there have been recurring water-related issues, with emergency water leak complaints in October 2024 and plumbing issues in March 2024, as well as concerns about ceiling condition in October 2024.
The building's elevator emergency system received attention in April 2025, with multiple emergency complaints being addressed within two days. The property has faced several infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding fire safety systems. Multiple violations were documented in 2023 regarding the building's fire escape systems, including concerns about missing bolts, compliance with safety codes, and obstructed exit passageways.
The building underwent facade inspection requirements under NYC's LL11/98 program, with violations issued in late 2022 regarding unsafe conditions and cracks in brickwork, though some violations were later dismissed. Recent bedbug reports indicate three infested units were treated and eradicated in the 2023-2024 reporting period, though the building's rodent inspections have consistently passed since at least 2017. The property shows regular maintenance activity through multiple permits issued between 2020-2022 for various repairs and improvements, particularly focusing on electrical and plumbing systems.
