15 East 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
15 East 20th Street is a historic 14-story, 48-unit residential building located in Gramercy, dating back to 1844 and currently owned by Christopher Mcallister. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident being a food poisoning complaint in November 2024, which the Department of Health determined was isolated. Between 2020 and 2022, multiple maintenance complaints were filed and investigated by HPD, including issues with heat/hot water (entire building), various plumbing problems, and concerns about pests, flooring, and window frames.
While violations were noted during inspections, no actual violations were issued for most of these complaints. The building has been subject to multiple bedbug reporting periods since 2022, with all recent reports (2022-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units. The property underwent significant facade work, as indicated by multiple permits (issued between 2020-2023) and violations, including a 2022 violation for failing to maintain sidewalk shed safety measures while the facade work was in progress.
There were also several active violations as of 2022 related to failed inspections for the facade inspection safety program (FISP) Cycle 9A, elevator maintenance, and roof work. Recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 indicate successful management of this issue, with no reported infestations. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt responses to complaints, though many issues were resolved without violations being formally issued. The property appears to be under active management, with several permits issued in 2023 for ongoing maintenance and improvements.
