Augrented Insights Report for 21 Eldridge Street

The 5-story, 18-unit tenement building at 21 Eldridge Street in Chinatown, owned by Ming Kei Cheng and built in 1900, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent significant event being a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in February 2024. The building has documented multiple heating system problems between 2021 and 2024, with HPD investigations often unable to gain access to units for inspection.

More recently, in December 2024, six housing maintenance code complaints were filed and closed, including issues related to unsanitary conditions (pests and garbage storage), mold, plumbing (radiator problems), and issues with the mailbox system. The property currently has multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023, and had several complaints between 2022-2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification (including one regarding electrical wiring and another about gas utility concerns).

Rodent activity has been a persistent issue, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing rat activity and the need for bait application, though a compliance inspection in July 2025 resulted in a passing grade. Despite these challenges, from 2018 to 2024, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building according to the required annual reports.
