28 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

28 Forsyth Street is a 6-story, 22-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Oli Carcani. The building has experienced recurring electrical issues, with two recent no-lighting complaints filed in April 2025 that remain unresolved as of July 2025.

In May 2023, multiple pest-related complaints were filed, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, and there have been consistent bedbug reports over the past five years, with the most recent indicating one infested unit in 2024 and six in 2023. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in Apartment 4 (second story), including unresolved issues with a carbon monoxide detector, persistent plumbing issues (water leak), mold problems, interior surface damage, and safety equipment violations, all identified during a October 2022 inspection that remain open as of 2023. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing initial rat activity in December 2022, though subsequent inspections between January 2023 and June 2025 have passed.

Multiple self-closing door violations were documented in 2022-2023, though some were subsequently closed after corrections were made. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various sanitary conditions requiring attention, including garbage storage issues noted in May 2023 that were inspected and found to have no violations. While some permits for plumbing and electrical work were issued in 2018 and 2019, the persistence of multiple open violations and service requests suggests ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety.
