771 Greenwich Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 6-story, 111-unit building at 771 Greenwich Street in the West Village, owned by Kiran Rijhsinghani and constructed in 1890, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in early 2025. In February 2025, multiple service requests were filed with HPD regarding various maintenance issues, including mold, paint/plaster problems (both walls and ceilings), plumbing issues with a sink, window frame concerns, and cabinet problems. HPD attempted to inspect these issues but was unable to complete the inspections. Of particular note is the building's rodent history, with consistent rat activity documented between late 2023 through 2024, though a passed inspection in July 2024 suggests some mitigation efforts were successful.

The property has also experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from 2023-2024 indicating one unit was treated. The building underwent several inspections for work without proper permits in late 2024, resulting in referrals to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Between 2021-2024, the property underwent multiple tenant safety inspections, with some violations noted, particularly in 2021. Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 related to inadequate tenant protection plans and work notifications resulted in monetary penalties. The building has maintained active compliance with plumbing and elevator requirements, though there is one active DOB violation from 2020-2023.

The property has received several permits for work performed between 2018-2022, including electrical and plumbing-related work. Rodent inspections conducted throughout 2023-2024 show a pattern of both rat activity and successful bait application, indicating ongoing management of pest issues. Multiple bedbug reports between 2019-2024 reveal consistent monitoring and eradication efforts, with most infestations successfully eliminated according to reports. While the building has experienced various maintenance and pest control challenges, the management's response has included obtaining necessary permits and addressing violations through inspections and corrective actions. Recent complaints in 2025 about various maintenance issues suggest some ongoing concerns with building upkeep, though the ability of HPD to inspect and address these issues remains limited according to the most recent service requests.
