31 Jones Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
The three-story, two-unit brownstone at 31 Jones Street in the West Village, owned by Michael Polesny and built in 1828, has a concerning pattern of regulatory noncompliance over recent years. Most notably, there are persistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 all citing failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.
Additionally, the building faces multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with six unaddressed violations from 2018 to 2023 indicating failure to file required annual inspection reports. The building also has several Environmental Control Board violations from August 2021 related to failure to comply with prior orders, with some carrying a $1,250 penalty.
While the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, including three consecutive passes in 2024-2025, it did experience rat activity in July and August 2017. A complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in August 2021, resulting in an Oath Violation being served. The property's most recent inspection results show compliance in rodent control as of March 2025, but the building's history of noncompliance with bedbug reporting and regular safety inspections raises significant concerns about maintenance oversight.
