151 East 20th Street, Manhattan, NY 10010

151 East 20th Street is a 5-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Cathy Iasello. The building has experienced several recent maintenance and compliance issues, most notably regarding elevator service and unauthorized work. In the past year (2024-2025), there have been two complaints about work being conducted without proper permits, and the property is currently active with a violation for failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection as of June 2023.

There have been recurring elevator complaints, with two related inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing either insufficient information or no violations found. The building has a consistent record of rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection in May 2025, though there were two DOHMH complaints regarding food establishment issues in 2023 related to pests and garbage. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in each reporting period, suggesting effective pest management.

Historical data shows the building has received various permits for plumbing and electrical work between 2018-2021, with permits properly issued and recorded. While there have been multiple complaints about unauthorized work in the past five years, records indicate either no violations found or the complaint being referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety concerns, with most issues being promptly addressed or resolved, though the current active violation regarding the 2019 low-pressure inspection remains outstanding as of mid-2023.
