22 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
22 Ludlow Street is a five-story, 10-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Mei Mei Liu, located in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood. The building has experienced ongoing heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, including two recent emergency complaints in November 2024 and a building-wide heat/hot water complaint in September 2023 that resulted in a violation. The property has also faced pest control challenges, with several reports of unsanitary conditions and pest infestations between 2022 and 2024, though recent rodent inspections in April 2025 and November 2024 passed.
In addition to these recurring maintenance issues, the building currently has several open violations as of November 2024, including failures to post required safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and building information, as well as a self-closing door issue in the vestibule. The Department of Buildings records show various complaints and inspections, including concerns about building stability and debris in February 2022, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. An environmental violation regarding concrete stucco condition at the parapet level was observed in February 2022, along with a subsequent violation for failure to certify correction of this immediately hazardous condition, which was later dismissed.
The building has also had two complaints regarding work without proper permits in 2022 and 2024, though one was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs and no violations were found in the other. Recent inspections indicate improved conditions in terms of rodent activity, with only one instance of rat activity noted in the past year, compared to multiple occurrences in previous years. The recurring nature of heat/hot water issues, recent open violations related to safety postings, and periodic pest problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the building's management appears to be addressing these issues based on recent inspection results.
