243 Henry Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 6-story, 24-unit tenement building at 243 Henry Street in the Lower East Side, owned by Julio Hernandez, has experienced significant ongoing issues with its cooking gas systems throughout 2023 and into 2024. Between August and October 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints and violations related to gas supply problems affecting several apartments (1, 18, and 24), with at least one violation remaining open as of October 2023 concerning inadequate gas supply at the 1st floor.
The building has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations for various maintenance issues, including a requirement to properly prepare and paint all components of the fire escape as per an August 2023 violation. The building's management has generally maintained compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations.
While the building's basic maintenance has been addressed periodically, there have been recurring issues with pest control as evidenced by a October 2022 violation for a roach infestation and mouse problem in apartment 1, though this was marked as resolved by October 31, 2022. The property has passed its most recent rodent inspection in March 2025, following several years of consistent passing inspections from 2020 to 2024, with some inspections showing rat activity in September 2024. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing violations and complaints, though the repeated nature of the cooking gas issues suggests ongoing challenges with that particular system.
