51 Bayard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
51 Bayard Street is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building located in Chinatown, owned by George Lam and constructed in 1983. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly concerning building systems and sanitation. Most concerning are two active ECB violations from October 2023 regarding improper boiler and water heater installations, with penalties of $625 and $2,500 respectively.
The building has also faced recurring challenges with its boiler systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2021-2023, including a 2021 violation for work without a permit and a 2023 Oath violation. While there were three years between 2019-2022 when violations were resolved or dismissed related to boiler inspection requirements, these recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's sanitation history shows a mixed record.
There have been several food establishment complaints between 2020-2024, including issues with food spoilage and pests in 2022, though these complaints were closed following Department of Health inspections. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2020-2025 showing zero infested or re-infested units. More positively, recent rodent inspections (2023-2025) have consistently passed, with only one failure noted in December 2022, and multiple successful compliance inspections since then. The building's most recent bedbug report for 2024-2025 shows zero cases, continuing the pattern of effective pest management demonstrated in previous years.
