220 West 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

Located in the West Village, 220 West 13th Street is a 6-story, 22-unit residential building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Peter Tran. The building has experienced recurring heating and elevator issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific) and elevator maintenance concerns. As of late May 2025, there are still open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and heat/hot water issues.

The building has a documented history of plumbing problems, including a water supply issue in February 2025 that resulted in housing violations. The property has faced several significant infrastructure challenges in recent years, including multiple complaints about the boiler system, with inspections in early 2025 highlighting defective/inoperative equipment and access issues. Various violations were issued in 2023-2024, including problems with window repairs (apartment 3D), roof leaks (apartment 6B), and hot water temperature issues.

Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs and rodents, passing all inspections since 2019. Recent environmental violations in 2022-2023 noted concerns about electrical panel safety and unauthorized work, while multiple elevator-related complaints (including an active complaint as of June 2025) suggest ongoing concerns with vertical transportation systems. The building's management has generally addressed violations in a timely manner, with most recent violations being resolved or closed, though specific details about correction timelines are not always clear in the records.
