156 Bleecker Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
156 Bleecker Street is a 10-story, 190-unit residential building constructed in 1896 and currently owned by Chaim Babad. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concern regarding heating systems and ventilation. Most notably, there is currently an open HPD complaint (as of June 2025) regarding the ventilation system, and throughout 2024 there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water systems affecting the entire building.
The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with inspection results showing both rodent presence and other pest issues being reported and inspected between 2023 and 2024, though recent inspections have passed. The building's maintenance history indicates persistent facade and structural concerns, with multiple Department of Buildings violations recorded between 2021 and 2024. Most recently, in September 2024, a violation was issued for loose panels at the entrance, damaged window sills, and spalling brick issues.
While many earlier violations from 2021-2022 were ultimately resolved or dismissed, including elevator maintenance and exterior wall concerns, there have been recurring issues with building systems and maintenance compliance. The facade maintenance, in particular, has required multiple facade inspection and permit filings over the years, with associated fines and penalties for failure to comply with reporting requirements. The building's bedbug reporting for 2023-2024 shows no recorded infestations during the most recent reporting period, and a rodent inspection in August 2024 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management, though earlier years had mixed results in this area.
