37 Madison Street, Manhattan, NY 10038

The three-story mixed-use building at 37 Madison Street, owned by Ho Wong, was constructed in 1905 and contains 4 residential units. The building experienced significant challenges in 2019, including structural damage from a fire that occurred on April 29, 2019, affecting the cellar and first floor.

This incident prompted multiple Department of Buildings inspections, violations, and emergency repairs which were eventually completed and signed off in August 2019. The building has faced recurring concerns about illegal hotel rooms, with three complaints in recent years (2019, 2022, and 2023), though inspections in 2023 showed inspector could not gain access. In 2022, there was a Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2021 to 2025 consistently document zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, indicating effective pest management.

The building has maintained generally good rodent control, passing inspections through 2025, with only one failed inspection in December 2024 for "Other Reasons." Health-related incidents have been limited to two food poisoning complaints in 2018 and 2020, both of which were determined to be isolated incidents. The property has shown compliance with various housing regulations, filing bedbug reports regularly since 2021 and undergoing routine inspections, though there remains a notable history of structural concerns with two building shaking complaints in 2019, which resulted in violations but were later dismissed once repairs were completed. The building's current status as of 2025 shows no active housing maintenance violations, successful rodent control inspections, and consistent documentation of pest management procedures.
