123 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

123 Henry Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chinatown and built in 1900, currently owned by Wai Ching Chiu. The building experienced significant heat and hot water issues in January 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants, though most were duplicates of already-reported building-wide conditions.

In early 2024, there were also documented rodent sightings, including both mouse and rat incidents, though subsequent inspections appeared to have passed. The building had previous violations in August 2020, primarily affecting apartment 17, including issues with window guards, a refrigerator problem, and lead-based paint hazards, though these were resolved by October 2020. More recent history includes a Department of Buildings inspection in February 2023 that identified a missing air conditioning support bracket on the building facade, which resulted in a violation, though this was ultimately resolved with no penalties.

The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. Regular rodent inspections conducted from 2020 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management. The most recent heating system issues in early 2024 appear to have been addressed, as there have been no subsequent complaints regarding heat or hot water, though initial access issues were noted during some inspections.
