231 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 6-story, 12-unit tenement at 231 Henry Street in the Lower East Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Joseph Fernandez, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is an ongoing rodent control challenge, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 (most recently in May 2025) confirming rat activity.
The building has also faced water-related issues, with a slow leak complaint reported and addressed in May 2024. As of 2023, there is an active violation regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection.
The property has maintained a clean record for pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported from 2020 through 2025, with zero infested or re-infested units in all filings. Historical records show the building received three permits in 2019 for various work, including electrical and plumbing improvements, and had one illegal activity complaint in 2019 that resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. While the building has passed most rodent inspections in previous years, the recent pattern of rat activity suggests an ongoing challenge in maintaining proper sanitation standards.
