96 Mac Dougal Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The three-unit, three-story building at 96 Mac Dougal Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Jill Schapiro and dating back to 1844, has experienced some recurring issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations documented in multiple years from 2021 through 2024, indicating failure to file the necessary annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

While these violations do not directly indicate a current infestation, they suggest potential oversight in pest management protocols. The building has had two documented rat sightings in 2023 (March and August), though both incidents resulted in inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations and confirmed the property passed inspection.

Importantly, rodent inspections conducted regularly since 2012, including most recently in August 2024, have consistently resulted in passing grades, suggesting effective pest control measures in place despite the isolated rat sightings. The property appears well-maintained in terms of physical structure and systems, as evidenced by the passing inspection results, though the open bedbug reporting violations remain a noteworthy concern.
