243 Bleecker Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
243 Bleecker Street is a 5-story, 3-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's West Village, owned by Rocco Generoso Jr and constructed in 1829. The property has experienced several significant health and safety issues in recent years, particularly related to compliance with public health mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. In late 2021 and early 2022, eight separate complaints were filed regarding vaccine mandate non-compliance and face covering violations, with the most recent of these occurring in January 2022.
The building has also faced ongoing challenges with pest management, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and bedbug reports. While the building did not report any infested units in its 2021-2022 bedbug report, there have been persistent violations regarding the timely filing of bedbug reports, with open violations from 2023 and 2024. Rodent inspections reveal a mixed record of maintenance, with several incidents of rat activity recorded in 2023 (April and May) requiring bait application, though the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 passed.
Additionally, there was a plumbing issue complaint in January 2022 that resulted in building violations being served. A more recent complaint from December 2024 regarding work without a permit was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2017, with most recent inspections showing both passed results and instances requiring bait application, indicating ongoing monitoring and treatment efforts.
