98 Christopher Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
98 Christopher Street is a 6-story, 20-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in the West Village and built in 1856, currently owned by David Magier. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centering around pest infestation, including two pest-related complaints in May 2025 and multiple reports of water leaks in March 2025 (heavy flow and damp spots). The property has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2024 regarding the entire building's heat and hot water systems, and previous heat-related issues were noted in 2024.
Building maintenance violations have been issued for various issues, including a window frame problem in Apartment 15 (January 2024) and door-related violations in both Apartment 3 and common areas (March 2024). The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to maintenance issues, with several complaints being closed after inspections, though some violations remain outstanding as of the latest data. Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with passes in 2023 and 2025, but failures and reports of rat activity were noted in 2021.
The property has maintained a relatively clean bedbug record in recent years, with no infestations reported in the last three annual filings (2022-2024), though there were incidents in 2019-2020. The building's management has also dealt with various plumbing and window maintenance issues, and while multiple complaints have been filed and subsequently closed, these recurring maintenance patterns may warrant attention. The most recent 311 service requests in 2025 suggest that some maintenance issues persist, particularly regarding pest control and water-related problems.
