213 West 13th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

213 West 13th Street is a 5-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's West Village, constructed in 1851 and currently owned by Richard Mason. The building has experienced consistent plumbing and heating system challenges over recent years, with the most recent issue being an open complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests, filed in May 2025.

Significant plumbing-related incidents include a water leak issue in August 2023 affecting the kitchen ceiling in apartment 4C (noted as an open violation), multiple plumbing complaints in October 2024 related to sinks and sewers, and radiator problems in April 2023. The building's heating systems have faced recurring problems, with complaints about no heat or hot water recorded for the entire building in November 2021 and for an individual apartment in December 2018; however, in both cases, tenants reported that services were restored promptly. The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations or sightings in the past five years (2020-2025).

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing generally good compliance, though an initial rat activity report was recorded in March 2025. Other notable violations include issues with door hardware and plastered surfaces in apartment 4C, as well as some administrative violations in 2018 regarding building safety postings. A boiler inspection in January 2025 did not warrant any violations, suggesting recent improvements to the heating system.
