115 Christopher Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 115 Christopher Street building, located in the West Village, is a 7-story, 5-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Bill Broshowitz. The property has experienced several significant construction-related issues in recent years, with multiple complaints regarding work being conducted without proper permits between 2022 and 2025, including three complaints in 2024 alone.

Most notably, an October 2024 investigation revealed unauthorized electrical, plumbing, and construction work in a commercial space (bar/restaurant) on the first floor, leading to Environmental Control Board violations with imposed penalties totaling $3,750, though these were subsequently resolved. Between 2019 and 2025, there were six separate complaints about work being done without permits, including one concerning work contrary to a Stop Work Order in November 2024, though most of these were ultimately found to warrant no violation or resulted in compliance inspections. Despite these construction-related challenges, the building has maintained a strong record in other areas of safety and maintenance.

There have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the documented monitoring periods from 2018 to 2025, and the property has consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 through 2025. Historical records show an earlier concern regarding the building facade in 2019, when violations were issued for rusting fire escape and peeling paint, but these were resolved. The building's permit history shows at least one electrical work permit was issued in September 2018, though it is unclear if this corresponds to any of the subsequent violation issues.
