31 Bank Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

31 Bank Street is a 5-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building located in the West Village, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Mirsad Velovic. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with nine documented complaints between January and May 2025, all affecting the entire building. Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) faced challenges accessing apartments for inspection during these complaints, which were all marked as closed.

The building is currently facing an open Class C violation from December 2023 regarding the need for approved one-hour fire resistance rated self-closing doors at all openings to public halls, excluding apartment entrance doors. An active Environmental Control Board violation from February 2023 notes deterioration of the first-floor facade and issues with the windowsill and lintel spalling, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed. The building's maintenance record shows regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed between 2016 and 2025, indicating effective pest management.

Additionally, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the property since 2019. While there were two DOB complaints in 2025 regarding adjacent buildings and debris concerns, inspections found no violations at the time. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infestation and eradication counts over multiple reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. A plumbing violation from 2018 was resolved without any penalty.
