36 West 26th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010
36 West 26th Street is a 5-story, 4-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Jack Ancona. The building has experienced several safety-related issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being the failure to maintain working carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 2, as identified in May 2024 inspections.
These units were cited for multiple violations including defective self-closing doors, various maintenance issues affecting walls and ceilings, and a history of heat/hot water problems in February 2024. The building has also faced structural concerns, notably in 2021 when vertical cracks and loose bricks were reported on the 5th-floor facade, prompting emergency repairs and the installation of a pedestrian safety shed. Prior complaints indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges, including water leaks, pest issues, and appliance problems.
A notable history of building code violations related to improper use as an illegal hotel in 2019 and 2021 raised concerns about safety systems that were ultimately resolved through compliance actions. The property has maintained regular rodent inspection passes from 2010 through 2021, suggesting effective pest management, and most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicate no infestation issues. The building's current violations, as of May 2024, include open citations for safety equipment deficiencies and various maintenance issues that affect the building's habitability standards.
