144 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
The 26-unit, 7-story residential building at 144 Sullivan Street in SoHo, owned by Daniel Lavian and constructed in 1900, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, during 2025, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints (three in March 2025 alone), with HPD inspectors frequently unable to gain access to verify the problems.
The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, with repeated reports of rodent activity throughout 2024-2025, including recent inspections in January and March 2025 showing continued rat activity. The Department of Buildings has documented several concerning facade issues, with active violations from 2021-2024 related to exterior maintenance and the failure to submit mandatory facade inspection reports, including violations for vertical cracking and spalling noted in early 2024 inspections. The property has a history of compliance issues regarding tenant notifications and safety documentation, with violations from 2023 related to the failure to post Tenant Protection Plan notices and Safe Construction Bill of Rights during construction work.
While there have been multiple HPD inspections for unsanitary conditions, including garbage storage and pest issues in 2023-2024, inspection results have been mixed, with some showing no violations. The building's management has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2018-2025, consistently showing zero infested units across all reporting periods. Recent environmental control board violations in 2024 resulted in fines related to facade maintenance, and multiple active DOB violations remain open as of 2025 regarding facade safety and required documentation.
