82 Charles Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 5-story, 30-unit building at 82 Charles Street in the West Village, owned by Dylan Cecchini, has experienced several significant issues since 2018. The property, built in 1893 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has documented recurring pest problems, particularly with bedbugs and rodents.

In late 2019, the building faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding pests, with one notable incident in December 2019 involving apartment 4E, which was found to have bedbug infestations, excessive storage issues (approximately 70% of the apartment cluttered), and missing safety detectors. The building has also been subject to several bedbug reporting periods from 2018-2019 through 2023, showing varying infestation levels with the most recent reports in 2023 indicating two infested units that were eradicated. Recent inspections have shown some improvements, with rodent inspections in 2022 and 2025 passing without issues, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2019 and 2021.

The property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, though these were subsequently closed. Building management has taken steps to address these issues, as evidenced by the issuance of various permits between 2018-2021, including plumbing and other maintenance work. While the frequency and nature of pest-related complaints have decreased somewhat in recent years, the building's history shows a pattern of infestation and maintenance challenges that has required ongoing attention and remediation efforts.
