32 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The three-story, two-family townhouse at 32 Orchard Street in Chinatown, owned by Elaine Hsu, has been under consistent oversight since its construction in 1900. The building has maintained a strong record in terms of building safety and pest control over recent years, passing nine consecutive rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 showing compliance.

While there have been two sidewalk-related complaints (in 2025 and 2021) and one complaint about excessive debris (2021), none of these resulted in violations upon inspection. The property has demonstrated effective pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in 2020-2021 and 2019-2020, as evidenced by the absence of infested, eradicated, or re-infested units in official records. The building's most pressing current concern is an active violation issued in September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.

This particular violation represents the only zoning or building code issue on file in recent years. The property's overall maintenance record has been relatively clean, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducting an inspection in December 2020 following a rodent complaint and finding no violations. The consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug issues over multiple reporting periods suggest effective pest control measures are in place, while the minimal number of complaints and violations recorded indicates generally responsible property management, aside from the noted inspection filing oversight.
