30 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

30 Orchard Street is an 11-story residential building constructed in 1979 in Chinatown, currently owned by Gary Andriotis, containing 9 units. The building has faced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly concerning its facade and structural safety. As of early 2024, there are active violations related to the facade inspection safety program (FISP) Cycle 9B, with the building receiving a Partial Vacate Order due to severely cracked and bulging panels at the east, west, and south elevations, which have rendered both the front terrace at the west elevation and the rear courtyard at the east elevation unoccupiable.

The building also has an active ECB violation from January 2024 regarding an unacceptable amended Cycle 9B report, with a penalty balance of $5,400. Additional concerns include a 2020 elevator issue with no alternate service, though this was resolved with a violation served through OATH. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2020, with all recent annual reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units.

The property has also consistently passed rodent inspections, with all ten inspections from 2019 through 2025 yielding satisfactory results. Multiple complaints in 2025 regarding sidewalk shed conditions were investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the regular filing of bedbug reports and prompt attention to inspection requirements, though the active facade-related violations indicate ongoing structural maintenance concerns that remain unaddressed as of October 2023.
