143 Chambers Street, Manhattan, NY 10007

143 Chambers Street is a 5-story, 4-unit mixed-use building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Jason Liebowitz. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2018 and February 2019, affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, particularly in apartments 2 and 3.

More recently, in June 2025, there is an active food establishment-related complaint involving pets/animals that is currently under investigation by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has undergone several significant inspections and violations related to safety systems, including multiple citations for failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, and violations related to fire safety materials in the 5th-story public hall noted in 2023. The property has had various maintenance and safety issues documented through Department of Buildings complaints, including multiple instances of electrical wiring problems (2021-2022), plumbing concerns (2022), and a gas utility referral that resulted in a stop work order in 2023.

There were also significant violations regarding work without permits and inadequate fire safety systems in 2021-2022, which resulted in multiple penalties totaling over $15,000. The building's history shows consistent rodent control compliance from 2010 through 2018, with the most recent bedbug reports indicating no infestations since 2020. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges that have required multiple inspections and interventions by various city agencies.
