96 Perry Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

96 Perry Street is a 6-story, 36-unit old law tenement building located in the West Village and owned by Divya Rashad. The building, constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple documented complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent incident occurring in October 2023.

These heating emergencies have all been resolved relatively quickly, typically within a few days following HPD interventions. The building underwent several inspections resulting in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2021, including issues with smoke detector requirements, bedbug reporting, and gas leak notification procedures, though all these violations have since been closed. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent reports for the 2023-2024 periods showing no infestations.

Recent rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 have generally shown passing results, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in May 2019. The Department of Buildings records show three violations issued in 2019-2020 that were resolved by November 2022, and there are active permits from 2020 and 2021 related to elevator work. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to heating system issues, with heat and hot water services being restored promptly following each outage, as confirmed by tenant reports to HPD.
