227 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
227 Henry Street, a 3-story, 8-unit building constructed in 1920 in the Lower East Side, is currently owned by Justin Cheng. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during November-December 2018, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding inadequate heating throughout the building, with violations issued in some cases.
Recent concerns include rodent activity, with inspections in April 2025 and March 2025 confirming rat presence, following a pattern of inspections showing both passed and failed results between 2021-2025. The building currently has several open violations, including an April 2024 C violation regarding hot water provision in apartment 1F, along with multiple open Department of Buildings violations (as of 2023-2024) related to failure to file annual external low pressure inspections for several years, from 2018 through 2023. The property has demonstrated some compliance with regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the 2023 bedbug report showing no infestations during the 2021-2022 period.
However, the presence of active rodent activity and multiple open violations related to both safety and maintenance issues indicate ongoing challenges. The building's recent inspection history shows a mix of compliance and non-compliance with rodent control requirements, with an improving pattern observed between 2022-2024, though recent inspections in 2025 indicate current rodent issues. Separate from the rodent concerns, various mechanical systems and building access issues have been documented, particularly relating to heating systems, security, and hot water provision, with some violations remaining open since 2018.
