118 Madison Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

118 Madison Street is a five-story, eight-unit old-law tenement building located in the Two Bridges neighborhood, owned by Candy Xia and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, particularly in 2019, with multiple complaints and violations regarding water leaks, including slow leaks and damp spots, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. A significant cluster of maintenance issues was documented in April 2019, primarily affecting Apartment 2 on the fifth floor, including problems with plaster surfaces, paint requirements, vinyl tiles in the kitchen, and visible mold conditions in the bathroom.

While many of these violations were eventually closed, there remains an active Department of Buildings violation as of June 2023 regarding failure to file the 2019 external low-pressure inspection. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, showing zero infested units in the most recent filings from 2023 and 2024. Recent inspections (2022-2025) have shown consistent passing results for rodent inspections, indicating no current rodent issues.

The property has maintained regular bedbug prevention practices, with no infestations reported in the past several years. The most recent significant maintenance issue was the active DOB violation regarding the external low-pressure inspection filing from 2019, though most historical issues have been addressed through various inspections and corrective actions. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing violations, though with some instances of open violations as noted in 2019.
