100 Madison Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

100 Madison Street, located in the Two Bridges neighborhood, is a 5-story, 17-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by David Lau. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns including multiple heat and hot water complaints (most recently in 2021), water leak problems (2019-2020), and rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 showing both rat activity and compliance concerns.

Between 2019-2021, the building faced various maintenance issues including ceiling paint/plaster problems and safety concerns regarding smoke detectors, with multiple instances where building inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. In 2021, the building's fire escape systems required attention, with violations documented for rust removal, repairs, and removal of encumbrances obstructing egress, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Most notably, there are current active violations from November 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy and use of ground floor spaces as unlicensed physical treatment establishments, which were found to be operating contrary to zoning regulations.

These violations represent significant compliance concerns for the property owner. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in recent years, with the latest bedbug report from 2025 indicating no infested or re-infested units, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 showing passing results, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, though many previous violations have been closed after inspection and correction.
