160 East Broadway, Manhattan, NY 10002

The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 160 East Broadway in Chinatown, owned by Judy Cheung, has undergone significant maintenance and regulatory oversight since its construction in 1900. Most recently, the building has maintained consistent rodent control compliance, passing all inspections between 2020 and 2025. The property has also demonstrated proactive bedbug management, with no reported infestations in the past four reporting periods from 2021 to 2024.

Notable building code violations from 2018 remain open, including requirements to post important safety information about carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and housing information resources in common areas. In 2023, the building received multiple food establishment-related complaints, including rodent and insect issues, though these were subsequently resolved or administratively closed. The building experienced a notable cluster of water supply-related plumbing complaints in July 2021, with multiple tenants reporting issues, though these were all closed without violations being cited.

Recent activity includes an August 2024 complaint regarding unauthorized work, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs, though this appears to be the building's only major regulatory issue in recent years. The building's documentation shows a generally responsive management approach to maintenance and regulatory compliance, with particular attention to pest control and prompt responses to tenant complaints. The property has maintained a stable occupancy pattern, with eight units, and continues to meet most health and safety requirements as evidenced by regular inspections and timely resolution of most complaints. The bedbug and rodent management records suggest a commitment to maintaining a sanitary living environment, while the open violations from 2018 regarding safety notice postings represent the building's most significant outstanding regulatory compliance issue as of July 2025.
