83 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The 22-unit, 6-story tenement building at 83 Henry Street in Chinatown, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Daniel Lebensohn, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2025, there has been a pattern of pest-related complaints, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and open cases as recent as April 2025.

The building has also faced intermittent heat and hot water issues between 2018-2022, with three emergency complaints in 2022 alone, though no violations were issued in some cases where HPD could not gain access for inspection. Water-related problems have been documented, including a heavy flow leak complaint in January 2025 and a previous slow leak issue in 2020, with violations issued in some cases. The property has demonstrated some concerning safety compliance history, particularly during 2022 when multiple violations were noted in Apartment 21 regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, self-closing doors, and fire escape access.

While these violations were certified as corrected by May 2022, the building has experienced periodic issues with garbage storage, as indicated by open complaints in 2025. Notably, the building's bedbug reports show a clear trend of infestations between 2018-2021, with one unit reporting an infestation in 2021 and two units in 2019, though recent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations. The building has passed all recent rodent inspections from 2022-2025, showing improvements in pest control, and there have been no violations noted regarding the sidewalk shed or scaffold conditions in recent inspections.
