14 Thayer Street, Manhattan, NY 10040
14 Thayer Street is a 5-story, 42-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Peter Rebenwurzel. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly evident in multiple complaints throughout 2025, including both entire building and apartment-specific reports. Recent inspections in April 2025 revealed concerning conditions including mold and water leaks, with potential lead-based paint conditions identified during HPD investigations.
The building has faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints and Violations in recent years, including issues with plumbing (toilets, sewage), flooring, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints from late 2024 and early 2025 are marked as closed. The property has generally demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there were reports of rat activity in 2021 and 2022. Bedbug reports show no infestations in the past four years, with the last reported occurrence being in 2019-2020.
Recent violations related to energy benchmarking requirements were filed and subsequently dismissed in 2024. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of both resolved and ongoing issues, particularly regarding water-related problems and heating systems, with multiple instances of HPD being unable to gain access for inspection purposes. The most recent complaint as of July 2025 involves paint and plaster issues in ceilings and walls, which are currently marked as open.
