285 Bleecker Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
285 Bleecker Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law tenement building located in the West Village, constructed in 1874 and currently owned by Jerry Ottomanelli. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with two separate heat/hot water complaints for the entire building filed in late 2022 and early 2023, resulting in violations related to inadequate heat supply (specifically in apartment 7) and locked boiler room access.
More recent concerns include ventilation system problems and mold issues reported in April 2023, though these were promptly addressed and closed within days of reporting. The building currently has active DOB violations related to failure to file external low pressure inspections for multiple years between 2018-2021, as well as an outstanding violation from 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report.
However, the property has maintained a clean record for pest control, with zero reported instances of bedbug infestations in any of the annual reporting periods from 2018-2024. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2017, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2017. The most recent building inspections have focused on safety and compliance issues, with a work without permit complaint filed and referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs in December 2024, and an enforcement work order that resulted in no violations being warranted in February 2023.
