130 Barrow Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
130 Barrow Street is a 6-story, 95-unit commercial altered Class A building constructed in 1920 in the West Village, currently owned by Robert Michel. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most pressing are eight open violations as of August 2024 related to safety requirements, including missing carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and maintenance of required building information. There have been three recent water-related incidents: a drinking water complaint in December 2024 (investigated with no violations found), a plumbing water supply issue in August 2024, and a heat/hot water problem affecting the entire building in January 2022.
The building's elevator system has ongoing concerns, with active violations from 2019 regarding failure to correct defects noted in a 2017 inspection. The property has undergone multiple inspections and permit issuances between 2018-2025, with particular attention to safety compliance. A notable investigation in 2018 resulted in violations for unauthorized use of unit 304 as a transient rental, with penalties issued for non-compliance with sprinkler and fire alarm requirements. More recently, there have been recurring rodent activity concerns, with failed inspections in July 2024 and August 2022, though the most recent inspection in September 2024 passed. The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in annual filings from 2019 through 2024, indicating successful pest management.
While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, many complaints have been resolved or resulted in no violations being found upon inspection, suggesting responsive management to address resident concerns. The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections, with compliance shown in 2020, 2021, and most recently in 2023. Recent inspections have focused on electrical systems, sidewalk safety, and required safety notifications. The most recent open violations from August 2024, while primarily administrative in nature, indicate some deficiencies in maintaining proper safety signage and notifications throughout the building. The property shows an active pattern of maintenance and compliance efforts, though with recurring issues particularly related to safety systems, plumbing, and rodent control that warrant ongoing attention.
