176 Waverly Place, Manhattan, NY 10014

176 Waverly Place is a historic three-story, 15-unit residential building constructed in 1839 in New York City's West Village. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with particular concern around construction safety and maintenance compliance. Most notably, there are multiple open housing maintenance code violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

Between January and August 2025, there were numerous construction-related complaints and violations, including multiple stop-work orders and citations for work without permits. In May 2023, several serious construction safety violations were documented, including issues with fire safety equipment, sequence of demolition work, and structural support conditions, though most of these were subsequently resolved with penalties ranging from $625 to $2,500. The building is currently facing three active Department of Buildings violations (as of 2025) related to structural concerns and inspection failures, including large openings between partitions and exposure-related issues.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections conducted between 2019 and 2024. Historical records show that the building has undergone various inspections and received multiple notices of violation over the years, though most other violations have been resolved. The property, owned by William Suk, is classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B" building, indicating it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use. The most recent building activity has generated considerable regulatory attention, particularly in 2025, with multiple inspection actions and violations recorded in relation to construction work and safety compliance.
