40 Morton Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
40 Morton Street is a 5-story, 15-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in the West Village, built in 1887 and currently owned by Michael Sloane. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints reported in 2024 and 2021, including three separate complaints on February 21-22, 2024, though these were ultimately closed as duplicate complaints or without access for inspection.
The property has a documented history of pest issues, with multiple rodent-related complaints and inspections between 2021-2024, including "Rat Activity" findings in inspections throughout 2022 and the application of bait in August 2024. Recent violations were documented in February 2024 regarding improperly installed door devices preventing self-closing at building entrance doors, while earlier violations from 2021 concerned multiple issues in Apartment 1B, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing, and water damage in the third private hallway. The building underwent rodent control measures through various inspections between 2021 and 2024, with mixed results showing both activity and successful bait application.
While the building has maintained an annual bedbug reporting record showing zero infested units from 2021 through the present, the presence of rodent activity remained a concern. The property received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021-2024, including requirements for bedbug reporting, door self-closing devices, and various safety and maintenance issues. Recent building system improvements were permitted in June 2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance efforts, though the persistence of heat/hot water issues and pest problems indicates these challenges remain significant for residents.
