239 Bleecker Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

239 Bleecker Street is a historic 4-story, 3-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the West Village, owned by Valentina Fazlija and dating back to 1828. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with recent complaints in December 2023 and March 2023, though HPD was unable to access units for inspection in the latest incident.

The property has maintained an active compliance record for bedbugs, with zero reported infestations since at least 2019, and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2012 through 2024. Notable safety concerns were addressed in March 2021, including violations for window guard deficiencies in Apartment 4 and multiple building-wide issues requiring various repairs, though many subsequent inspections found no violations. The building's maintenance history reveals several areas requiring attention, including two violations in 2022 regarding fire escape obstructions and a padlockable scuddle ladder hatch at the 4th story.

While there was a temporary heating issue addressed in March 2021, most recent complaints about heat and hot water have not resulted in documented violations. The property has maintained regular documentation of its annual boiler and low pressure inspection requirements, though a 2023 violation was issued for failing to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection. The building's overall health and safety record shows regular inspections and prompt attention to most issues, with specific attention paid to maintaining compliance with city regulations regarding heat, safety features, and maintenance standards.
