3 West 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

3 West 13th Street, a 9-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Joseph Greco, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation as of February 2023 regarding the failure to file the required FISP Cycle 9B technical report, for which a penalty of $1,280 has been imposed. This building has a documented pattern of non-compliance with exterior wall examination requirements, having previously faced similar violations for FISP Cycle 8B in 2018 (resolved with a penalty of $625) and Cycle 9B in 2024.

In 2023, there was a water leak emergency reported and inspected by HPD, though no violations were found. The building's elevator system has also had documented issues, with a violation issued in September 2019 for failing to correct defects identified in the 2017 Cat 1 inspection, though this was ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years (2020-2025) and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2011 through 2024.

There was one instance of a sidewalk shed complaint in January 2024, though no violations were warranted upon inspection. The building has been actively addressing maintenance needs, as evidenced by the issuance of multiple permits in late 2018 to early 2019, including for plumbing and electrical work. While the building has experienced some compliance issues, particularly regarding exterior wall inspections, most recent complaints have been promptly resolved without resulting in persistent violations.
