18 Bank Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The historic three-story building at 18 Bank Street in the West Village, built in 1845 and currently owned by Laurance Nagin, has recently experienced recurrent heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints filed between December 24 and December 27, 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These complaints were noted as duplicates of a building-wide problem, with HPD initially unable to gain access for inspection purposes.

The building has a documented history of illegal hotel room complaints in 2019 (on June 21 and August 6), though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts to investigate these allegations. Despite these recent and past concerns, the property has maintained an impressive record in other areas.

There have been no reports of bedbug infestations since 2018, with all subsequent annual filings showing zero infested units. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with ten successful passes documented from 2012 through 2024, showing regular compliance with health and safety standards. While the recent heating issues warrant attention, it's worth noting that this building has historically demonstrated good maintenance practices in areas such as pest control and rodent management.
