146 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
146 Henry Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Nelson Tom. The building has experienced several recurring safety and maintenance issues, with the most significant concerns centering around the fire escape system. Multiple violations have been documented between 2021 and 2024 regarding fire escape maintenance, including broken components, obstructions, and ladder issues.
These violations were primarily resolved through repairs and corrections, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 noted ongoing fire escape concerns such as obstruction by plants on the fifth floor. The property has faced persistent pest management challenges, particularly during 2018-2019 when multiple complaints about pest issues were filed, though inspections typically found no violations. Recent rodent activity has been documented through routine inspections in 2024-2025, with several instances of rat activity recorded despite bait applications.
The building's maintenance history shows some concerning trends, including multiple complaints about unauthorized work and violations related to chimney replacement work in 2024, resulting in two $2,500 penalties. Of particular note is the recent pattern of violations suggesting possible occupancy or alteration concerns, including a November 2024 ECB violation for construction work and occupancy changes without proper permits, though this is currently listed as "Active." The building's management has shown some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by multiple compliance inspections and corrections, including a recent inspection in March 2025 confirming compliance with several previously cited issues. However, there are several active violations still needing resolution, including concerns about fire escape obstruction and occupancy-related matters. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with documented reports showing zero infested units in the past three reporting periods.
