1 King Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

1 King Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in SoHo, dating back to 1880 and currently owned by Kenneth Nagin. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in December 2023, which required HPD intervention but was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has also faced safety-related violations, including two December 2023 violations regarding defective self-closing doors and an incident in May 2024 involving defective/exposed electrical wiring where inspectors again could not gain access. In February 2023, the building was cited for missing mortar from the fifth floor to the roof, resulting in a $625 penalty that has since been resolved. The property has a notable history of rodent-related issues, with inspections showing rat activity in January 2020 and one initial inspection in 2025 showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in February 2025 showed compliance.

The building has maintained consistent bedbug-free status across all reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, with zero infested units reported in the past five years. While the building has passed most rodent inspections in recent years, the pattern of violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has regularly experienced heat-related issues, with multiple complaints registered through 311 services, though the most recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate successful pest management programs.
