231 Sullivan Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
231 Sullivan Street is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1887 and currently owned by Eric Setton. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during October 2021 and January 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants. While some violations were issued during these incidents, records indicate that in at least one instance, heat and hot water were restored prior to inspection.
More recent concerns include a 2024 fire escape safety complaint that was inspected by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. The building has been under scrutiny for various safety and maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings violations, including an active violation from 2023 regarding failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection. Between 2018 and 2021, several violations were issued related to building safety requirements, including missing fire safety notifications and building maintenance concerns, though many of these were subsequently resolved.
The property has a relatively clean pest control record, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last four annual reporting periods (2021-2025), and recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 both passed without issues. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance regarding pest control, with consistent reporting and successful eradication efforts when needed. While historical records indicate some concerns about unauthorized uses of the building, these violations appear to have been addressed and resolved. The most pressing current concern appears to be the open violation regarding the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though the response to this issue is still pending as of the latest available data.
