182 Hester Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
182 Hester Street, a 6-story, 20-unit New Law tenement built in 1910 in Little Italy and owned by Adele Gallo, has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a damaging 3-alarm fire on November 12, 2023, that affected multiple floors (3rd to 6th) and the roof, resulting in active violations requiring emergency repairs. The building has faced recurring maintenance issues, including multiple heat/hot water complaints (entire building), plumbing problems, and rodent-related concerns.
A substantial renovation and compliance challenge emerged in late 2023, with multiple active violations related to fire damage and building safety. The property has documented history of various building system issues, including heating systems, plumbing complications, water leaks, and rodent activity, with inspections showing mixed results. Between 2019-2024, there were several safety-related violations and compliance issues, including problems with the fire escape ladder, electrical work without permits, and sidewalk shed concerns.
More recent inspections (2024-2025) have shown improved outcomes for rodent control, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing. Bedbug reporting has consistently shown no infestations since 2019. The building's documented maintenance history reveals an ongoing pattern of addressing basic infrastructure and safety systems, with some violations remaining open as of mid-2025, particularly related to the recent fire incident and structural concerns.
