27 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
27 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by M L K Realty Corp, located in the Chinatown neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant issues since 2020, with the most notable concerns occurring during the fall of 2020 when multiple complaints were recorded regarding heat, hot water, and cooking gas problems. Between October and December 2020, there were multiple violations issued related to cooking gas supply and multiple instances of inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
These violations were eventually closed, though access challenges affected some inspections. The building also underwent some safety-related inspections, with violation notices issued in October 2020 for missing safety devices (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors) in Apartment 7, which were certified as corrected. More recently, the building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2025 generally passing, though there were some indications of rat activity noted between 2022-2023.
The property has shown improvement in recent years regarding pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025) and consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements. The most recent building inspection records from 2024 and 2025 show no active violations related to bedbugs, and the building has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2023. A notable building-wide violation from 2024 required the filing of an annual bedbug report, which is now on record as properly completed in 2025. The building's maintenance record shows generally responsive resolution of reported issues, though some complaints in 2020 were initially met with access challenges during inspections, highlighting past difficulties with building access for inspections.
