43 East 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The eight-story, four-unit residential building at 43 East 20th Street in the Flatiron District, owned by 20th Street Realty LLC, has been in operation since 1901 and presents a mixed record of maintenance and compliance issues. The property has multiple open violations regarding bedbug reporting, with consecutive violations noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. In 2023, two Environmental Control Board violations were issued related to the building's exterior wall conditions and unauthorized removal of public protection from an unsafe facade, though these have since been resolved.
The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, with a significant complaint in 2020 regarding lack of alternate service that resulted in a violation, and a 2021 violation related to access and maintenance requirements. Historical records indicate varying degrees of pest control challenges, with documented "swarm conditions" observed in 2022, though the most recent bedbug reports (2019-2020) showed no infested units. The building's exterior and structural maintenance has been the subject of several violations, including a 2018 case regarding improperly installed A/C units.
While rodent inspections from 2014, 2012, 2011, and 2010 generally resulted in passing grades, there was one instance of rat activity noted in June 2010. The most recent significant building permit issuance was dated October 25, 2018. The concentration of open bedbug reporting violations over multiple years, along with the 2023 facade-related violations, suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to both preventive maintenance and reporting requirements.
