50 Horatio Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
50 Horatio Street, a 20-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Robert Spitalnick, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, evidenced by complaints in March and June 2023, though heat was not required during the March inspection. The building has faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges, including fire escape safety concerns, a power outage, and various interior maintenance issues such as problems with walls, ceilings, and flooring, resulting in multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.
In August 2023, several violations were documented, including a bedbug report requirement, air conditioning units obstructing fire escapes, and a mouse infestation in Apartment 20. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2020 and 2025, with failed initial inspections in 2024 and 2025, though a compliance inspection in April 2025 showed passing results. The property has a documented history of heating system issues, with multiple complaints about defective boilers in 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits. A significant building modification was noted in November 2020, with a $1,250 penalty for work done without proper permits.
The bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 shows minimal infestation activity, with only one incident recorded in 2019. Recent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvement in rodent management, though earlier inspections in 2024 and 2023 had failed results. The building has consistently filed bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, with all recent filings indicating no active infestations during the reporting periods. While some recent violations remain open, particularly regarding fire escape and air conditioning issues, the property has demonstrated efforts to address various maintenance concerns over time, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances and inspections.
