79 Washington Square E, Manhattan, NY 10003
79 Washington Square E is a 7-story, 93-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Linda Chiarelli. The property has experienced several notable health and safety incidents in recent years, including two unresolved food-related complaints in 2025 and 2022, and an August 2018 case of food contamination that elicited official warnings to the owner. The building has undergone multiple elevator-related violations and repairs from 2020 to 2022, with documented work performed by Schindler Elevator Corporation.
A significant regulatory breach occurred in May 2024 when the building failed to file its required energy benchmarking report, though this violation was subsequently dismissed after confirmation of submission. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent 2025 report showing no affected units. However, the building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, evidenced by several failed inspections between 2024 and 2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 showed passing results.
The Department of Buildings has issued multiple work permits between 2018 and 2020, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement activities, including electrical and plumbing work. The most recent inspection of record from November 2024 found no violations, suggesting recent compliance with health and safety regulations, though there remains one open food poisoning complaint from February 2025 that is still under review. The building's historical data shows a pattern of addressing violations and complaints, with most issues being resolved through official channels, though some recent health-related complaints remain outstanding.
