55 Leroy Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 5-story, 10-unit building at 55 Leroy Street in the West Village, built in 1887 and currently owned by Baldev Vadehra, has experienced several maintenance issues recently, with the most recent cluster of complaints emerging in June 2025. These complaints, primarily regarding unsanitary conditions and maintenance problems, include issues with flooring/stairs, walls, doors, and electrical systems, though many of these complaints were closed without inspection access being granted. A significant concern is the open water leak complaint from January 2025, which remains unresolved as of the latest data. The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with violations issued in June 2025, though inspections in July 2024 had found no violations on similar complaints.

The property's maintenance history shows persistent issues requiring attention. In 2023, violations were documented regarding paint condition, fire retardant material, and roof leakage in the 5th-floor public hall, though these were certified as corrected by late 2023. The building's first-floor Apartment 1 has multiple open violations from 2021 concerning water leaks and plaster repairs in both the kitchen and bathroom, as well as electrical issues. While there have been several inspections for rodent presence between 2018 and 2024, all have passed, indicating generally effective pest control measures.

The building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 consistently show zero infested units, demonstrating successful management of this particular pest issue. Recent complaints have shown a pattern of tenants not providing access for inspections, particularly in June 2025, which has hindered the resolution of several maintenance issues. The building's heating and hot water systems were the subject of complaints in October 2023, though access was also not granted for inspection. Historical data from 2021-2022 indicates multiple attempts to address various maintenance issues, including the boiler and permit-related complaints, though many did not warrant violations upon inspection. While the building shows evidence of ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in addressing resident complaints and resolving open violations, it has maintained compliance in key areas such as rodent control and bedbug management.
