21 Bedford Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
The five-story, 5-unit Old Law Tenement building at 21 Bedford Street in the West Village, owned by Fernando Alba and constructed in 1888, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The property has faced recurring problems with floor conditions, particularly in 2023 when multiple violations were issued regarding flooring/stairs conditions between April and October, with specific attention on Unit 2's bathroom and kitchen floor tiles.
The building also has a documented history of pest control challenges, with inspections revealing rodent activity and roach infestations in 2023 and 2024, although recent rodent inspections in July 2024 passed. While there have been various plumbing, appliance, and sanitation complaints throughout 2023-2024, many were resolved without violations being found. Recent records show ongoing maintenance concerns, including a DOHMH inspection in April 2024 regarding standing water on the sidewalk, and various Department of Buildings complaints between 2020-2025 regarding permit violations, suspended scaffolds, and sidewalk conditions.
An Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in February 2023 regarding the building facade's window sills and cornice condition, resulting in a $250 penalty, while other significant issues were documented in 2023-2024 including door repairs needed at the vestibule and entrance. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports since 2019 reporting zero infested units. While the building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, recent inspections and violation resolutions suggest some progress in addressing these issues, though an open Class C violation remains regarding roach infestation in Unit 2 as of October 2023.
