28 Rutgers Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
28 Rutgers Street is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Lower East Side, built in 1901 and currently owned by Wai Sze. The building has experienced minimal major issues in recent years, with the most notable being a water supply plumbing complaint in December 2023, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development with no violations issued.
The property has maintained an impressive record with respect to pest control, achieving zero reported instances of bedbug infestations across multiple annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. The building has also demonstrated consistent compliance with rodent control requirements, passing five consecutive inspections from 2023 through 2025, though there were two instances of rat activity noted in 2022 inspections.
The most recent inspection in March 2025 confirmed the building's continued rat-free status. While the building has experienced some plumbing issues as evidenced by the December 2023 complaint, these appear to be isolated incidents rather than part of a broader pattern, and no immediate health or safety violations have been documented.
