140 West 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
140 West 13th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit building in the West Village, constructed in 1842 and currently owned by Rita Viscoso. The building has undergone several significant events in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) food establishment complaints, including ongoing food temperature issues as of June 2025, and previous rodent/insect problems in 2024 and 2022.
There have also been three instances of indoor air quality complaints related to chemical vapors, most recently in December 2023. The property has shown consistent attention to rodent control, passing inspections in 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, though there were some concerning results in 2021. The building has faced several administrative and compliance issues, including violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022, though subsequent reports from 2024, 2023, and 2022 show zero infested units.
Recent Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2024 indicate a failure to file external low-pressure inspections, which remains active as of the latest records. Electrical safety has been a recurring theme, with complaints about defective/exposed wiring in 2019 and 2021, and a more serious incident in 2019 involving unsafe electrical equipment that resulted in a $2,000 penalty. The building's management has generally responded to housing maintenance code complaints, such as those regarding unsanitary garbage storage in 2021, and most violations have been resolved, though there are multiple active DOB violations related to inspection filings.
