173 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
173 Henry Street is a 7-story, 42-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Lutmei Poon. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with 7 service requests and multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints between January and February 2025, indicating building-wide temperature control problems.
These complaints have been met with varying degrees of HPD response, including closed complaints due to access issues and one instance of verified corrections. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with heating systems, as evidenced by several Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints in both 2024 and 2025 related to heat and hot water availability. Additionally, there were documented facade maintenance issues between 2020-2024, including three ECB violations regarding facade condition that were eventually resolved, though some violations were dismissed in 2023.
The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections in 2023-2025, with only one failed inspection noted in early 2022, and bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including elevator service complaints and facade problems, recent data indicates improved rodent control and no bedbug infestations. The current focus of tenant complaints appears to be primarily centered around heating system reliability, based on the recent pattern of complaints in early 2025.
