148 West 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

This five-story, 20-unit Old Law tenement building at 148 West 10th Street in the West Village, dating back to 1885, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are four open lead paint hazard violations from October 2020 affecting apartments 1RW, 2A, 1C, and 3A, with additional violations related to failure to notify occupants about lead-based paint hazards and failure to provide required documentation.

A recent pest-related complaint filed in April 2025 was not able to be inspected due to lack of access, and while the building has consistently passed rodent inspections in recent years (most recently in August 2024), there was one recorded instance of rat activity in January 2022. The building has maintained a clean bedbug report record for several years, with no infestations reported since at least 2019. The property has a history of various maintenance issues requiring attention, including a heat/hot water problem in apartment 5A in late 2019 that resulted in violations, and multiple window-related violations in 2018 affecting apartments 5A.

Building systems and maintenance have generally been addressed, as evidenced by the issuance of multiple plumbing permits in 2019 and 2020. The building's management pattern shows responsiveness to many violations, with most being closed upon correction, though the ongoing lead paint compliance issues remain a significant concern. The most recent significant building-related complaints and issues appear to relate primarily to access problems for inspections and documentation compliance rather than new safety or habitability concerns.
