308 Spring Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

308 Spring Street is a 4-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by John Mele and located in SoHo. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in March 2024, including multiple reports of flooring issues and water leaks, both heavy flow and damp spot types.

Inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during this period were unsuccessful in gaining access to investigate the complaints. The building's history shows previous concerns with heat and hot water systems in January 2022, and flooring issues in January 2019, though no violations were found in the 2019 flooring inspection. Currently, there are active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections.

The property's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with failures recorded in 2022 and 2023, though it passed inspections in 2024 and on several occasions prior to 2022. Notably, the building appears to have maintained an effective bedbug management program, with no reported infestations or eradications in their most recent filings from 2022 through 2024. In terms of safety compliance, there was a specific violation issued in 2019 regarding an air conditioning unit encroaching on a fire escape from apartment 2B, though this may have been addressed as certified in July 2019.
