45 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
45 Henry Street is a 6-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by You Zhang. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly between 2020-2021, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building. These complaints were documented in various HPD service requests, some of which resulted in violations, though many were closed due to inability to access units for inspection. The building faced additional concerns in 2020-2021 including problems with cooking gas, electrical appliances, and two separate incidents of building-wide heating issues.
Late 2020 also brought complaints about potential structural concerns including building shaking and roof parapet problems. More recent inspections and violations paint a mixed picture of the building's condition. In 2022, violations were documented regarding fire escape obstructions at multiple levels, with issues involving garbage, household items, and an obstructed drop ladder on the west stack. There were also fire escape defects noted that required proper securing of metal treads.
Regarding pest control, the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2021 to 2025. The most recent environmental violations from 2022 involved inadequate scaffolding and an expired permit for work performed by Kay NJ Construction, with significant penalties totaling $18,750. As of 2025, there appear to be ongoing issues with rodent activity, based on recent inspections showing rat activity in June 2025, though prior inspections from 2022-2024 had consistently passed. The building's permit history shows several plumbing-related permits issued between 2019-2021, suggesting ongoing maintenance and repair work has been taking place.
