Dating from around 1900, the Textile Building — at 66 Leonard Street in Tribeca has a current $4.95 million listing has nearly 3,000 square feet, and monthly common charges and taxes of more than $10,000.
A year and a half ago someone on the 6th floor was selling a couch through Furnishare also known as Kaiyo. The service offers to remove the pains of transporting large and bulky items. As Furnishare movers began to descend the staircase with the couch the couch struck an exposed sprinkler head resulting in a release of water. Three months later, emergency mold remediation began in the hallways and stairwells. The estimated repair cost was $400,000. The work took eight months, according to permits from the Department of Buildings.
