108 Madison Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
108 Madison Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Choi Yip Hom and located in the Two Bridges neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with eight open HPD violations as of mid-2025, including recent concerns about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage (opened June 2025) and a food poisoning complaint (opened March 2025). Between January and May 2024, multiple safety-related complaints were logged regarding self-closing doors, door frames, and sprinkler systems, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to complete necessary inspections.
The building has also faced persistent pest issues, with separate complaints recorded in August and September 2024, and multiple violations related to self-closing door requirements throughout 2023-2024. Recent developments include two active ECB violations from November 2023 regarding unpermitted construction work in the rear yard and blocked emergency exits, with penalties totaling $3,810. While rodent inspections show some improvement with passed inspections in March and October 2025, there have been concerning patterns of rat activity noted in earlier inspections throughout 2022-2024.
The building's recent history shows significant challenges with maintenance access compliance, as several HPD inspection attempts between 2023 and 2024 were unable to proceed due to lack of tenant response or access. Additionally, there have been multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions and occupancy concerns in late 2023, though these were marked as having no violations at the time of inspection or were vacated. While some issues have been resolved through compliance inspections, the building continues to have several open violations requiring attention as of mid-2025.
