141 West 10th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

141 West 10th Street is a 6-story, 23-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Joel Culotta. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most concerning being a current, unresolved food poisoning complaint (as of February 2024) involving three or more cases.

The property has faced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, most recently documented in June 2023 when violations were issued affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, including locked access to the boiler room on the 4th story. Plumbing issues have also been documented, including emergencies in January 2020 involving toilets and sinks.

While the building maintains an active pest management program, with regular rodent inspections that have passed as of 2024, and no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, the frequency of heating and plumbing complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. A work without permit complaint was filed and closed in December 2024, and the building successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2024, with bait application occurring during several inspections in late 2018. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than preventative maintenance, with multiple complaints requiring intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene over the years.
