43 Clarkson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

43 Clarkson Street is a 6-story mixed-use building with 6 residential units, located in the West Village and constructed in 1900. The building, owned by Karin Smattrobbins, is classified as a COMMERCIAL ALTERED CLASS A property. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular attention needed for its elevator system. In late 2021, there was an active violation related to the elevator's brake maintenance and fuse issues, which required attention from Otis Mechanics.

This followed earlier complaints in 2021 about multiple elevator devices on the property. While these issues were ultimately addressed, they indicate some challenges with the building's mechanical systems. Regarding pest control and sanitation matters, the building has maintained a clean record in recent years. Bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 show zero infested or re-infested units, and all rodent inspections from 2015 through July 2024 have passed successfully.

The building's management has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, submitting timely documentation showing no infestations. While there were two bedbug reporting violations noted in 2021 and 2022, these appear to have been resolved, as subsequent reports show no infestations. The property has a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2015 to 2024 showing compliance. The building management has actively addressed maintenance requirements, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances for various work types, including elevator-related work and plumbing maintenance, throughout 2019-2021. Notably, the most recent permits were issued for electrical and plumbing work in 2020-2021, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance.
