226 West 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

226 West 13th Street is a two-story, 13-unit building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Mark Harounian. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, with the most concerning incidents occurring in December 2024. During this period, there were multiple emergency complaints involving heat and hot water issues, carbon monoxide detector concerns, and water leak-related problems, all of which were subject to HPD inspections and resulted in violations being issued.

Notably, there was a specific mold issue documented in bathroom area of apartment 3R, as well as a water leak affecting the ceiling in the private hallway of the same apartment. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly evident in the 2024-2025 period with multiple violations related to building systems and environmental conditions. However, the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections across multiple years (2016-2024), suggesting effective pest management.

The bedbug reporting history indicates a single incident in 2022-2023, though the most recent 2023-2024 report shows no affected units. Compliance with bedbug reporting requirements has been established, as evidenced by regular filings with the HPD. The building's overall history from 2018 onwards shows periodic attention to maintenance issues, with violations being addressed and closed, though the recent cluster of complaints suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges.
