65 Downing Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
Located in New York City's West Village, 65 Downing Street is a 5-story, 23-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Isaac Benishai. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and health-related issues over recent years, with the most notable concerns centered around mold, rodent activity, and air quality. In 2022, multiple violations were documented regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold in Unit 3B and various maintenance issues such as broken electrical outlets, defective door mechanisms, and missing safety equipment (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), though most of these violations were subsequently closed following correction.
The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2021 and 2024, with rat activity detected in initial inspections during 2022 and 2023, though more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have shown compliance. Air quality concerns were documented in 2022, with multiple complaints regarding ventilation and other indoor conditions, while a 2023 complaint regarding food establishment conditions (rodents/insects/garbage) was administratively closed after investigation. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with all annual reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units, with the exception of one instance in 2018-2019 that was successfully resolved.
Recent building inspections and compliance checks indicate improvements in rodent management, with passed inspections in 2023 and 2024, though the building has experienced periodic rodent-related issues in the past. The Department of Buildings records show several inspections between 2019 and 2024, though most complaints were determined to have no violations warranting further action. The building's recent history suggests ongoing attention to maintenance issues, particularly regarding moisture and ventilation systems, though there have been positive developments in compliance with safety and sanitation requirements in more recent years.
