48 Carmine Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

48 Carmine Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1894 and currently owned by Susanne Schneider. The building has experienced several significant issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to recent indoor air quality concerns, as evidenced by a December 2024 complaint regarding chemical vapors, for which the owner received an advisory from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). There have been recurring health and safety concerns related to food establishments in the building, including complaints about food contamination (November 2024), food poisoning (March 2024), and rodent/insect issues (October 2023), though these incidents were determined to be isolated or addressed according to normal inspection procedures.

The building faced infrastructure challenges between 2021-2022, including multiple heat/hot water complaints (January 2021, March 2022), a power outage (January 2021), and a cooking gas issue (December 2021), though inspections generally found no violations. The Department of Buildings recorded a violation in 2021 regarding an obstructed egress due to an outdoor dining structure, which resulted in penalties, and there were multiple gas utility referrals in 2021. Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, with only one initial failure in April 2023.

The property has also demonstrated good pest control management, with no bedbug infestations reported across six consecutive annual filings from 2019 to 2024, and recent inspection results showing no active infestation cases. Recent building maintenance records indicate generally prompt responses to issues, though some complaints required multiple follow-ups for inspection access. The building's permit history shows routine maintenance activity, with two electrical work permits issued in early 2020. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, particularly during 2021-2022, recent records show improved conditions, with no major violations or pest issues reported in the past three years.
