100 West Houston Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

100 West Houston Street is a 6-unit, 6-story commercial building constructed in 1890, currently owned by Rocinante Corp, located in Greenwich Village. The building has undergone multiple construction and renovation projects over the past several years, with the most recent significant activity occurring in 2024, when multiple complaints were filed regarding work contrary to stop work orders and work without proper permits, specifically relating to electrical installations in the first-floor commercial space. These complaints resulted in an active Environmental Control Board violation with an imposed penalty of $830 for unauthorized electrical work.

Prior to this, the building experienced various maintenance issues, including problems with a defective boiler system in 2021 (resolved with an Oath Violation), and elevator service problems in 2020 which also resulted in an Oath Violation. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024. While there have been several food establishment-related complaints received by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between 2021 and 2023, all were administratively closed, indicating the reported issues were addressed.

The building has received multiple permits for electrical work in recent years, with several permits issued in 2018-2019 for various construction activities. The property underwent a professional certification compliance audit in 2019, which resulted in no violations warranting penalties. The recent pattern of complaints regarding unauthorized work in 2024, which led to an active ECB violation, represents the most significant regulatory issue in recent years, though the building's overall maintenance record and pest control history have remained stable.
