17 West 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The four-story, eight-unit building at 17 West 10th Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Prudence Crowther and built in 1846, has experienced several noteworthy events in recent years. The property has three active Department of Buildings violations as of June 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, along with an earlier violation from 2020 regarding an unfiled 2017 boiler inspection.

The building has also been subject to repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021, 2022, and most recently in March 2023, though subsequent filings from 2024 show no reported infestations (with a total of 0 infested units, 0 eradicated units, and 0 re-infested units). The property has had multiple complaints about unauthorized work in 2023 (three complaints in August and one in October), though inspections did not warrant any violations.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained a good record in several areas: it has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2010 through 2024 (with the most recent inspections in May 2024), and recent bedbug filings show no current infestation problems. While the building's age and history of administrative violations related to safety inspections and reporting requirements are notable, the property has demonstrated compliance with basic health and safety standards through successful rodent inspections and lack of active pest problems in recent years.
