35 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The 6-story, 18-unit tenement building at 35 Henry Street in Chinatown, built in 1900 and currently owned by Soo Dong, is experiencing several significant maintenance issues as of mid-2025. Most notably, there are multiple open complaints regarding safety concerns with the fire escape, problems with stairs, and issues with the mailbox system, all logged through 311 services in May 2025.

Additional concerns include water leaks, mold, and wall conditions, though some of these complaints were previously inspected in late May 2025 with no violations issued. The building has a history of heating system access issues, with violations recorded in 2023 and 2022 regarding Locked Access to the Heating System, affecting both the 2nd and 6th floors. Recent inspections have focused on various emergency maintenance needs, particularly during May 2025, which include problems with stairs, the fire escape system, and the mailbox setup.

The building's systems have faced multiple boiler-related complaints in 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access during those inspections. While the building has shown consistent rodent control compliance in recent inspections, passing all initial inspections since 2022 (with one exception in 2022 showing rat activity), the property has experienced recurring issues with building systems and safety features. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years, with all filings showing zero affected units.
