98 Chambers Street, Manhattan, NY 10007

98 Chambers Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1900 in Tribeca, currently owned by Only Properties, LLC. The building is experiencing ongoing plumbing issues as evidenced by multiple recent complaints: two separate water supply-related 311 service requests were filed in February 2025, one of which remains open despite HPD's attempt to inspect the problem.

These plumbing concerns are categorized as both "Immediate Emergency" and "Emergency" under the Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building has a mixed regulatory history; while it has consistently passed rodent inspections each year from 2016 through 2025, and maintained a clean record with no bedbug infestations reported in the past eight consecutive filings from 2018 through 2025, there have been some notable violations. In 2019, a violation was issued regarding occupancy exceeding that allowed by the Certificate of Occupancy, specifically concerning two street-level stores instead of one.

The building also underwent construction work that resulted in a violation for proceeding beyond approved plans in December 2019. Other incidents include a food poisoning investigation in 2022 that was deemed isolated by the Department of Health, and a toilet facility complaint from 2019 that was addressed. Regular operational issues appear to be managed promptly, as demonstrated by the relatively quick resolution of most complaints, though the current plumbing situation remains a notable exception.
