37 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

37 Henry Street is a 6-story, 22-unit New Law tenement building located in Chinatown and owned by Sai Lee-wong. Built in 1900, this property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, though recent data indicates significant improvements. From 2019 to 2020, the building had multiple sanitation-related complaints, including unsanitary conditions and pest issues, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development unable to gain access for inspection in July 2019.

During this same period, there were several Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in August 2019, primarily related to safety notice requirements, including carbon monoxide detector notices, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information. Notably, there was also one violation regarding stored construction debris in the public hall. However, the building's recent records show considerable progress in managing pest and rodent issues.

Since 2021, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, as confirmed by annual Bedbug Reporting filings showing zero infested or re-infested units. Additionally, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with only one instance of rat activity noted in September 2020, and consistent passing results in subsequent inspections, including the latest one in June 2025. The most recent bedbug report filing (February 2025) and the regular passing of rodent inspections suggest effective ongoing maintenance and pest management practices in place at the property.
