56 Mac Dougal Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
56 Mac Dougal Street is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1903, currently owned by Rocio Sanz. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with HPD responding to two emergency heat/hot water complaints in late 2024 (October and November) where they found inadequate heat or hot water in some apartments. These followed a pattern of heating problems, with violations issued in 2024.
Recent infrastructure concerns include an active ECB violation from August 2024 regarding exterior facade damage and a September 2024 violation requiring sidewalk protection at the building's frontage. The property has also faced maintenance challenges in the past, particularly in 2020-2021 when multiple violations were documented in Apartment 12, including plumbing issues, pest infestations, and unauthorized alterations. The building's history shows a mix of food safety and COVID-19 compliance issues during 2023-2024, including one food poisoning complaint and multiple vaccine mandate non-compliance reports.
There have been structural and safety concerns raised through the Department of Buildings, with a building shaking/vibrating complaint in August 2024 and two work without permit complaints in 2020 and 2024. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases since 2019. Recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) show improved conditions, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 passing with no reported issues. The building's environmental control and housing maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to safety and maintenance requirements, though some violations remain open, including a 2024 violation regarding a self-closing door in the first-story public hall.
