55 Bayard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
55 Bayard Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Chinatown, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Marco Ko. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, with particular concern regarding emergency maintenance issues. Most notably, there are currently two open emergency complaints filed in June 2025 regarding door/window conditions and fire escape safety. An earlier emergency heat/hot water complaint from January 2022 was resolved when heat and hot water were reportedly restored.
The building has undergone multiple tenant safety inspections throughout 2024, all resulting in compliance, though there were some concerning complaints about unauthorized work in 2023-2024 related to plumbing and general work without proper permits. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest issues, with bedbug reporting for the past several years showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections consistently passing since 2019. The building's facade received attention in 2018 with an ECB violation regarding disrepair of the front facade roof level metal (cornice) structure, though this was resolved with a $2,500 penalty. Recent food establishment issues were reported in 2022 and 2021 but were administratively closed after being addressed.
There have been concerns about illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms in the past, with inspectors unable to gain access during final attempts in 2025 and 2018 respectively. The building's management has maintained regular rodent control inspections, with all recent inspections passing. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 and previous inspections all show consistent compliance with health standards. The property's bedbug-free status has been maintained for multiple consecutive years, indicating effective pest management.
