291 Cherry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
291 Cherry Street is a 57-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1986 in New York City's Lower East Side neighborhood, currently owned by Isah Ibrahim. The building has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems, with multiple complaints filed between September and October 2023 indicating inadequate heat and hot water throughout the entire building. These complaints resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including problems with access to the heating system in the boiler room and inadequate hot water provision in multiple apartments (S2, T1, H1, and I2).
A more recent complaint in January 2024 regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system was also closed without inspection. The building's maintenance history shows several concerning patterns, including five consecutive boiler-related complaints in early 2022, though most were dismissed upon inspection. Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2022 indicate issues with tenant protection measures and equipment maintenance. The building underwent an external low-pressure inspection in 2022; however, violations for failure to file this inspection were issued in 2023 but subsequently dismissed.
On a positive note, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, and recent rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025 have consistently passed, with only one instance of rat activity detected in July 2022. Recent inspections and filings (2023-2025) show improvements in certain areas, with all bedbug filings reporting zero infested units, though the building continues to struggle with timely response and resolution of heating and hot water issues. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed, continuing a trend of improved pest management. The property's record suggests ongoing challenges with building system maintenance and prompt response to service requests, particularly regarding heating and water systems, despite some recent improvements in pest control and bedbug management.
