7 Morton Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

7 Morton Street is a five-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1872 in the West Village, currently owned by Richard Mason. The building has maintained a generally stable condition over recent years, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the latest 2023-2024 reporting period and consistent passing results in annual rodent inspections dating back to 2016.

Housing Maintenance Code violations have been minimal, with only one Class A violation recorded in 2018 regarding missing smoke detector requirement notice in the first floor public hall, which was certified as corrected by December 2018. The building has experienced minimal complaints in recent years, with three flagged incidents in 2018 related to garbage storage and unauthorized work, though inspections did not warrant any violations.

A notable building pattern includes several permits issued for "EW" work in both 2018 and more recently in 2023, with the most recent being issued on March 1, 2023. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in response to complaints of illegal commercial use and after-hours work in 2018 and 2021, respectively, but found no violations in either case. While the building's history shows typical tenancy issues regarding garbage disposal and unauthorized work complaints, these have been addressed appropriately, and the absence of bedbugs and passing rodent inspections suggests effective management of pest control and sanitation requirements.
