233 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
233 Henry Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1921 in New York City's Lower East Side, currently owned by Justin Cheng. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed by tenants in 2023, 2024, and most recently in January 2025, though in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
Notable safety concerns emerged in early 2023 when the building received two Class B violations regarding blocked fire escapes on the 2nd and 6th floors, though these were certified as corrected by February 2023. The Department of Buildings has issued several active violations regarding failure to file External Low-Pressure Inspections from 2018 through 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance compliance issues. The building's pest management situation shows some improvement, with no documented bedbug infestations reported since 2021-2022, and the annual bedbug report compliance appears to have been addressed after receiving violations in 2022-2023.
While there was a rat sighting complaint in June 2023, subsequent rodent inspections have consistently passed through 2025, suggesting effective pest control measures are currently in place. A complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms was investigated in 2021 but resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access. The property's maintenance history indicates regular inspections and responses to tenant complaints, though the recurring heat and hot water issues remain a significant pattern of concern from 2020 through 2025.
