815 Greenwich Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The four-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement at 815 Greenwich Street in the West Village, owned by Jim Mosquera, has a history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the 2019 period when multiple violations were recorded. Notable incidents from 2019 include several related to heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with one inspection resulting in violations, as well as separate violations concerning cooking gas, water supply systems, and radiator issues. The building has also faced some regulatory compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple "A" class violations issued in 2019 regarding improper posting of safety notices related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke alarms, gas leak procedures, and inspection certificates in the first-story public hall, which remain open as of this review.

More recently, in 2025, there was a boiler-related complaint that resulted in no violations being found, and a construction-related complaint from 2022 resulted in a partial stop work order and some environmental control board violation follow-up. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance compliance overall, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years and consistent passing results on rodent inspections since at least 2016. The property has maintained its bedbug-free record through 2024, submitting reports indicating zero affected units for multiple consecutive years.

However, there are currently two active violations from 2019 regarding failure to file annual boiler inspection reports, and various safety notice posting requirements from 2019 that remain open. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded, though no violations were issued during a 2021 HPD inspection of an intercom system complaint. While some historical issues suggest past maintenance challenges, the recent bedbug and rodent inspections indicate improved general upkeep, though the open violations regarding safety notice postings and boiler inspections warrant attention.
