38 West 9th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 6-story, 54-unit Old Law Tenement building at 38 West 9th Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Mary Signorella and built in 1900, has experienced several notable events in recent years. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2021-2024), following a period in 2022 when three units were treated and successfully eradicated. While rodent sightings were reported in 2021 and 2024, both instances passed inspection, and the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2016.

Recent environmental concerns include a mosquito infestation reported in June 2024, though this was addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and two violations related to unauthorized construction during emergency orders in summer 2020, one with a monetary penalty of $5,000. The building has undergone regular safety oversight, including four tenant safety inspections in 2020 (March, October, December), all of which found no violations at the time. A more recent complaint regarding an illegal conversion in March 2025 resulted in an Oath Violation.

The property has maintained active compliance with Department of Buildings requirements, with multiple work permits issued between 2019-2021 for various projects. Notably, all rodent inspections conducted from 2012 through 2024 have resulted in passing grades, suggesting effective pest management overall. The building's recent history indicates good responsiveness to health and safety issues, though the unauthorized construction activities in 2020 and the 2025 conversion complaint represent notable exceptions.
