173 Bleecker Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
Situated in Greenwich Village, 173 Bleecker Street is a 5-story, 36-unit old law tenement built in 1888 and currently owned by Christine Debany. Recent months have seen recurring maintenance issues, with multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints in 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems, as well as issues with interior ceiling and wall paint.
While most of these recent complaints were investigated and determined not to violate housing laws, they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has also experienced some significant safety concerns, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024-2025, including problems with water leaks, and open Class B violations regarding garbage receptacles and fire escape obstructions from May 2024. The property has a notable history of transient occupancy issues, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations recorded between 2019 and 2021 regarding illegal hotel room usage, particularly concerning Unit 1001, which was found to be operating transiently without proper safety systems.
Building violations from this period included failures to maintain required fire alarm systems and automatic sprinklers for transient use, though these violations were ultimately resolved. Recent bedbug reporting records from 2023-2025 show consistently zero infested units, and regular rodent inspections between 2022 and 2024 have all passed. The building's most recent HPD inspections in 2024-2025 suggest some ongoing maintenance issues, with violations issued for paint/plaster work required on walls and ceilings, though more recent complaints have been closed without violations being found.
