25 Leroy Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

25 Leroy Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the West Village and owned by Adam Jernow, dating back to 1910. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, particularly in late 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding damp spots, resulting in two emergency Housing Maintenance Code violations for unsanitary mold conditions and one for sewage issues; however, inspectors were unable to access the affected areas.

More recently, the building has maintained an active compliance record with bedbug reporting requirements, demonstrating proper management practices with consistent filings showing zero infestation cases from 2019 through 2024. The building experienced some operational challenges in 2023, including a violation for failing to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, though this was later dismissed.

Rodent inspections have shown variable results since 2017, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 passing, but there were notable failures in 2023 for "Other Reasons" and in April 2022 for "Rat Activity." The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in February 2023 based on a complaint, finding no violations at that time. The property has maintained regular inspections and filings, with particular attention to bedbug prevention and reporting, though the response to multiple water-related complaints in late 2019, where access was denied during HPD inspections, raises some historical concerns about maintenance access protocols. Recent records indicate the building's systems and pest management programs are generally being maintained, with the most pressing recent issue being the temporary violation regarding the external low-pressure inspection filing in 2023, which was subsequently dismissed in early 2024.
