146 West 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

146 West 10th Street, a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Mark Scharfman, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly in the past five years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in 2020, with complaints filed in April, July, and October of that year, though these issues were resolved upon HPD's intervention.

The building recently experienced a mold outbreak in December 2023, which has been documented as an unsanitary condition but was subsequently addressed according to HPD records. A bedbug violation was issued in April 2021 regarding the failure to file the required annual report, though subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infestations occurred during those periods. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2019 and 2024, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing, indicating improvements in pest management.

However, there were multiple instances of rat activity recorded in 2022 and 2019, suggesting historical challenges with rodent control. The building's age and class as a historic New Law tenement are important considerations, though recent records indicate improved conditions in certain areas, such as pest management, while highlighting ongoing concerns with building-wide systems like heating and water supply. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of prompt response to emergency complaints, with HPD typically resolving issues within a few days of notification, though the recurring nature of certain problems suggests these may be systemic rather than isolated incidents.
