106 Charles Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
106 Charles Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building in the West Village, constructed in 1871 and currently owned by Mark Scharfman. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in both 2018 (December) and 2023 (November), suggesting persistent HVAC system challenges. Following recent complaints in November 2023, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the heating problem.
The building has also faced various maintenance concerns, including electrical issues (October 2023), plumbing problems (October 2023), and a pest infestation in 2018 that resulted in violations. More recent inspections indicate improved conditions in some areas, with the building passing rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025, though there were some rat activity observations in 2019-2020 that required bait application. The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019-2024, with no reported infestations.
Recent violations (2023) include a Class C violation regarding a door self-closing mechanism at the building entrance, though most historical violations from 2018-2019 have been closed. The property has had two notable environmental control board violations in 2019 related to a stop work order and failure to file a Certificate of Compliance, though these were resolved with no penalties. The building's permit history shows approved work in late 2018 for unspecified plumbing and electrical modifications.
