59 Bank Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The six-story, 1905 building at 59 Bank Street in the West Village, owned by Carole Ferrara, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a current open violation related to a broken or defective kitchen ventilation system in apartment 203, first reported in July 2023, which remains unresolved as of July 2025.

The building has faced recurring ventilation-related complaints, with multiple investigations by both the Department of Health and Housing Preservation and Development in July 2023. Additionally, while there have been no recorded bedbug infestations since 2019 and consistent passing results on rodent inspections through July 2024, residents have reported other various maintenance concerns, including a 2022 heat/hot water issue in one apartment that did not result in any violations. The property has undergone regular inspection and permit processes, with several Environmental Work (EW) permits issued between 2020 and 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance activities.

There were multiple complaints related to sidewalk shed/scaffold conditions in 2023, though inspections found no violations at the time. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various issues, with most complaints being investigated promptly, though not all have resulted in clear resolutions. The absence of bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods since 2019, and consistent passing rodent inspections, suggest effective pest management practices in recent years.
