3 Doyers Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

3 Doyers Street is a 5-story, 8-unit tenement building in Chinatown, built in 1920 and currently owned by Scott Lerman. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant recent event being a work without permit complaint in August 2024, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs.

The property has maintained consistent safety standards in recent years, with regular passing rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025, though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2022 that required bait application. The building has demonstrated effective pest management, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past several years, as evidenced by the bedbug reporting system showing zero infested units from 2018 through 2024. The building's maintenance history reveals various code violations, particularly in 2015, when multiple issues were documented in Apartment 3A, including problems with smoke detectors, hot water availability, and multiple safety system deficiencies.

These violations, along with several others in 2011 and 2022, were subsequently addressed and closed, including repairs to self-closing doors (Apartment 4B), safety system upgrades, and structural issues in public areas. The property has undergone regular health inspections, with the most recent DOHMH food establishment complaint in 2024 being closed without penalty. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, the owner has generally addressed violations in accordance with housing regulations, and recent inspections indicate improved compliance with safety and maintenance standards.
