13 Gay Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
The three-story Old Law Tenement at 13 Gay Street in the West Village, owned by Margaret Ratner, is a historic building dating back to 1844. The property has been under consistent scrutiny regarding its pest management practices, with four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code.
These violations, all classified as "A" (which typically indicates less severe violations), remain open as of the current date. The building has also experienced notable rodent issues, particularly between 2021 and 2025, with documented rat activity in 2021 and 2022, though more recent inspections have shown improvement.
The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passed, marking a positive trend in pest control compliance. Between 2019 and 2025, there have been 11 rodent inspections, with six passing, two failed due to rat activity, and three reporting "Other Reasons." While the building's age and location are typical for the West Village, its persistent issues with pest management reporting requirements and historical rodent activity suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining the building's living conditions to current standards, though recent inspections indicate some improvements in the pest control situation.
