22 Jones Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

22 Jones Street is a 6-story, 36-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1895 and currently owned by Diana Carbone. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, when there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including mold and human feces, as well as heat and hot water problems. The property has also faced challenges with safety compliance, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades since 2022, with the most recent violation active as of December 2024.

Additional compliance issues were documented in 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections, though these violations were dismissed in September 2023. The building's history shows a pattern of documentation and compliance challenges, including four consecutive years (2021-2024) receiving violations for not filing annual bedbug reports, despite official filings indicating zero infested units during these periods. Recent health and safety inspections have generally passed, including rodent inspections conducted between 2018 and 2025, which consistently showed compliance except for two initial inspections in 2017.

The property has also faced scrutiny for potential unauthorized conversions, with multiple complaints lodged in 2022 regarding illegal conversions of commercial space to dwelling units, though inspections were unable to gain access or found no violations. The building's maintenance record shows periods of persistent issues, with multiple complaint types recurring in similar timeframes. The most recent complaints from 2024 regarding heating issues and unsanitary conditions raise continued concerns about maintenance response times and resident quality of life. While the building has a consistent record of pest control reporting showing zero infested units in recent years, the timing and frequency of complaints suggest ongoing monitoring of building conditions is warranted.
