72 Charles Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
72 Charles Street is a 5-story, 17-unit old law tenement building located in the West Village, constructed in 1895 and currently owned by Marc Shore. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years, most notably in 2022 when violations were recorded in apartment 5W regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though these were certified as corrected by December 2022.
The boiler system also drew attention in 2022, with a confirmed violation of an active but unregistered Weil McLain Series 88 boiler with multiple defects, though this citation carried no penalty. The building has maintained an active compliance history regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past seven years (2018-2024), though there were periods of rodent activity in 2023 that required bait application, particularly during June 2023.
Historical records show recurring violations related to exterior lighting requirements at the front entrance, with citations issued in 2009 and 2013 for inadequate lighting, along with a 1995 violation regarding an unauthorized wooden deck structure that was addressed by 2020. The most recent inspections as of 2025 show the building has successfully passed rodent inspections for both 2024 and 2025, indicating improved pest management, while maintaining a consistent record of submitting annual bedbug reports showing no infestations. The building appears to be actively addressing maintenance issues as they arise, with most recent violations being promptly corrected or brought into compliance, though the pattern of rodent activity in 2023-2024 suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance.
