3 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The 6-story, 10-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 3 Allen Street, currently owned by Brian Chan, has faced recurring heating system challenges over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with the most recent incidents occurring in January 2024 and October 2023, all designated as emergency situations.

The building's heating system access issues have been documented through multiple HPD complaints, where inspectors were unable to gain entry for verification purposes. In addition to these heating concerns, the property has maintained an active record of compliance requirements, with bedbug reports filed annually showing minimal infestation cases, though a single incident was reported and subsequently addressed in 2024. The building has experienced several infrastructure maintenance issues between 2019 and 2021, including concrete repair needs for lintels (notably at the second story) and issues with the fire escape system that were documented and resolved through violation notices.

A significant environmental control board violation related to the boiler system was recorded in 2021, though this appears to have been addressed. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with regular evaluations showing no significant pest issues. While the building's heating system access problems and periodic maintenance violations have been concerning, the recent rodent inspections and bedbug reporting compliance suggest attention to basic building maintenance requirements.
