21 Monroe Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 5-story, 20-unit residential building at 21 Monroe Street in the Two Bridges neighborhood, owned by Sylvia Chin, has a noteworthy history since its construction in 1900. The building experienced a heat and hot water emergency complaint in January 2019, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.
Two significant safety-related issues emerged in 2025: an egress obstruction incident in late May that resulted in a Partial Vacate Order, and a construction enforcement work order that required compliance inspection. The building has maintained a clean pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2020 through 2024, and has consistently passed rodent inspections dating back to 2019, demonstrating good sanitation practices.
The most recent work order from February 2023 resulted in no violations being found during inspection, and in December 2019, a permit was issued for unspecified work under job number 140880401. The building has had regular inspections and compliance checks, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 showing continued adherence to health and safety standards.
