128 East 16th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The five-story, 13-unit building at 128 East 16th Street in Gramercy, owned by Steven Shapiro, has a mixed record of compliance and maintenance since its 1920 construction. Most recently, in 2024, the building received a notice of violation for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though this seems to have been an administrative oversight as all subsequent bedbug reports (covering 2023-2024) show zero infestations.
The property has maintained a passing record on rodent inspections, most recently in May 2025, with only one rat sighting complaint recorded in October 2020 that resulted in no violations. The building experienced several significant events between 2019-2020, including a period of construction related violations. In April 2019, three violations were issued regarding failure to distribute construction-related documents, resulting in penalties totaling $4,375.
There were also multiple permit issuances during 2019-2020 for various construction work, including two permits issued on March 16 and July 29, 2020. Historical data shows regular compliance with rodent inspections dating back to 2010, and the building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no infestation history since 2019. An attempted inspection for Local Law 188 compliance in September 2023 was recorded as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access," though this was marked as a second final attempt, suggesting previous attempts to gain access had also been unsuccessful.
