23 Jones Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
23 Jones Street is a historic five-story, 24-unit tenement building located in the West Village, built in 1891 and currently owned by Peter Jakobson. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent being a plumbing problem with toilets reported in April 2024, which was inspected and closed with no violations. The building faced notable heat system problems in November 2021, when violations were issued related to inadequate heat supply and locked boiler room access, along with missing required notices about heating system access.
Other maintenance issues in 2021 included problems with an electric/gas range, cabinet, and smoke detector, though these were resolved without violations. The building has undergone several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspections related to smoking violations, with the most recent being administratively closed in 2020. The property has seen recurring complaints about potential illegal uses, with multiple reports between 2018-2019 regarding possible illegal hotel rooms and conversions, though inspections found no violations or were unable to gain access.
Impressive is the building's clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, showing zero reported cases in annual filings from 2019 through present. Recent rodent inspections have generally passed, with the most recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showing compliance. While the building's age and history suggest some maintenance challenges, the oxygenification of recent inspections indicates regular upkeep, though the heating system violation in 2021 was particularly significant given the impact on resident comfort. The building's maintenance record shows most issues are addressed promptly, though some have involved violations requiring follow-up compliance.
