125 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

125 Henry Street is a 5-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building in Chinatown, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Ling Jieng Zhang. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints logged in December 2021 and October 2018 regarding these essential services affecting all units. During the most recent inspection cycle, three significant open violations were noted in December 2021, including inadequate heating and hot water in apartment 1RE (Class C violations), as well as two Class A violations related to missing required safety notices for carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors.

The building failed to maintain proper signage displaying the registration number and superintendent contact information, with multiple open violations from 2021 still requiring resolution. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through June 2025, with no reported infestations during these periods. Additionally, while earlier rodent inspections indicated rat activity in 2022 and early 2023, all subsequent inspections from June 2023 through June 2025 have passed, suggesting improved pest control measures.

The building has had three separate bedbug reports between 2021 and 2025, all indicating zero infested or re-infested units. Recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have primarily focused on confirming compliance with updated maintenance requirements, though a notable pattern of repeated violations regarding safety signage and heating systems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's permit history shows activity in 2018, with multiple permits issued for electrical and plumbing work under job number 123548777.
