119 Bank Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

119 Bank Street, a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement built in 1884 located in the West Village, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating systems. Between February and October 2022, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with some requiring HPD intervention to verify restoration of services.

The building currently has open housing maintenance violations from May 2022 concerning a tree branch obstructing a fire escape drop ladder and defects in fire retardant material at the 5th-story public hall ceiling. The property's maintenance history shows some recurring issues that have generally been addressed, including plumbing problems (2018), water supply concerns, pest control matters, and water leakage incidents.

Notably, there have been periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from 2022-2024 showing no current infestations following previous eradications. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2017 and 2024, most recently passing inspections in 2023 and 2024, with earlier failures indicating some persistent pest control challenges. Specific unit 2G had multiple violations in 2018 requiring repairs to various surfaces including floors, walls, and bathroom fixtures, but these were certified as completed by mid-2018.
