123 Waverly Place, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 10-story, 47-unit building at 123 Waverly Place in Greenwich Village, built in 1917 and owned by Robert Stone, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is an active complaint from October 2024 regarding construction lead dust entering an apartment, which remains unresolved as of October 2025. Between July and November 2018, the building faced significant problems with cooking gas supply, affecting multiple apartments (3D, 7E, 9D, and 9A), for which Class C violations were issued.

The summer of 2018 also saw various maintenance concerns including issues with flooring, ceilings, walls, and electrical wiring, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The building has demonstrated good pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2025), and complete eradication of a single incident in 2020-2021. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2016. The property has had some administrative and compliance issues, including failed energy use benchmarking reports in 2018-2019, though these violations were subsequently dismissed.

Structural and safety matters were addressed through various permits, with documented work completed in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Of particular note is a November 2018 Environmental Control Board violation regarding inadequate safety measures related to the building facade, though this was resolved with no monetary penalty. More recent complaints from 2019 concerned elevator service and sidewalk shed conditions, but inspections found no violations. While the building has generally maintained good rodent control and pest management records, the current lead dust issue represents a notable exception to this pattern of maintenance history.
