13 Jones Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The seven-story, 48-unit Jones Street Apartments, located in the West Village and built in 1889, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple DOHMH inspections and bait applications recorded throughout 2023 (including six instances of bait application between April and June 2023), though recent inspections in 2024 and March 2025 passed without issues.

The building's façade maintenance has been a concern, with a July 2022 violation recorded for spalled stucco and obstructed fire escape, resulting in a $625 penalty. Compliance with safety regulations has required attention, as evidenced by an active complaint (as of March 2025) regarding illegal or improper vent/exhaust systems, and violations related to failure to file necessary inspection reports (such as the 2019 external low-pressure inspection) in 2023. The elevator system has also presented challenges, with a 2019 complaint about single-device service and no alternate service, though this was inspected and determined to have no violations at that time.

In 2019, there was a building vibration complaint referred to the Department of Transportation. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight annual reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. While the property has experienced various violations and required multiple inspections and corrections, recent trends show some improvement in rodent management, with fewer complaints in 2024-2025 compared to 2023.
