10 Christopher Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

10 Christopher Street is a 7-story, 31-unit commercial altered Class A building located in Manhattan's West Village, owned by Todd Martin and constructed in 1903. The property has experienced several regulatory and maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular attention needed to its elevator system and building stability. Most recently, in May 2025, the building experienced two separate complaints regarding shaking and vibrating structures, which were referred to the Department of Transportation for further investigation.

In 2021, there were violations related to the building's single elevator device, and an Environmental Control Board violation was issued for failure to restore the elevator to proper inspection service, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The building has demonstrated ongoing compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 to 2025, though there was one failed inspection in 2017. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in recent years (with the most recent report covering the period of 2021-2022 showing zero affected units).

Multiple violations for failure to file annual reports (such as the 2019 boiler inspection and energy efficiency reports) have been dismissed or resolved, though one active violation remains for the 2019 boiler inspection. The building has demonstrated generally good maintenance practices, with routine inspections showing minor violations being promptly addressed, and all recent rodent inspections (2020-2025) resulting in "Passed" ratings. The property owner initiated several corrective actions in response to violations, including the issuance of a permit in 2019 for work related to the elevator system.
