140 Waverly Place, Manhattan, NY 10014

140 Waverly Place is a 6-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building located in the West Village, owned by Richard Mason and constructed in 1926. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past five years, with the most recent being a plumbing violation in June 2025 that resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order.

Prior significant incidents include an elevator violation in 2022 resulting in an Oath Violation, and persistent Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2022 related to elevator maintenance and failure to submit required exterior wall examination reports, with penalties totaling $7,500. The building's maintenance record shows some ongoing concerns, notably regarding elevator service interruptions and plumbing maintenance, though immediate safety issues have been addressed promptly.

Despite these violations, the building has maintained a good record in other areas: there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods (2018-2024), and rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 through 2025 have all passed successfully. The property has undergone some permitted work, with a significant exterior wall permit issued in 2020. While the building has experienced recurring issues with elevator and plumbing systems, as evidenced by multiple violations and complaints, these problems generally receive prompt attention from the management and regulatory authorities when reported.
