153 West 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The property at 153 West 13th Street in the West Village is a three-story, single-unit building constructed in 1848 and currently owned by David Warmflash. The building has a concerning pattern of unresolved Housing Maintenance Code violations, with open citations dating back to 2021 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

While these violations may not directly indicate current pest issues, they reflect non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2019-2025, though there were documented rat activity incidents in 2018 during compliance and initial inspections. Recent permit activity shows regular maintenance and improvements, with multiple permits issued between 2020-2024 for various types of work, including alteration, plumbing, and electrical work.

The property owner has maintained compliance with Department of Buildings regulations, as evidenced by the successful completion of numerous permits. Historical complaints regarding COVID-19 compliance and site conditions endangering workers were investigated in 2019 and 2020 respectively, but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The building's age suggests it has undergone numerous maintenance updates, as indicated by the frequent permit issuance over the years.
