199 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
At 199 Henry Street, a 5-story, 21-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Eric Chan, several pressing maintenance issues have emerged in recent years. Most recently, in March 2025, there were complaints regarding inadequate heat/hot water and plumbing issues in individual apartments, with the heat/hot water issue being classified as an emergency and resulting in violations. Throughout 2025, multiple heat/hot water complaints have been documented, along with unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in 2024.
The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, with violations issued in September 2024 regarding garbage storage areas and safety requirements such as self-closing doors. The property's maintenance history includes notable concerns with pest control, evidenced by documented rodent activity in 2023 despite passing inspections in earlier months. Earlier issues had included a significant violation from 2021 concerning mouse infestation and a carbon monoxide detector problem in apartment 14. Additionally, there are active violations from 2019 related to the failure to file annual boiler inspection reports, and while the building underwent several permit activities in 2019, including construction-related permits, there were also complaints about construction conditions that year.
The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations in recent years, with the last recorded instances occurring between 2018-2020. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 and 2024 passed, though earlier inspections in 2023-2024 indicated rat activity. The building's violation record is extensive, featuring violations related to heat/hot water systems, plumbing, and various safety concerns. The most pressing current issues appear to be the ongoing heat/hot water problems as of March 2025, requiring attention to ensure resident comfort and compliance with housing standards.
