35 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 16-unit, 5-story building at 35 Allen Street in Chinatown, owned by Ben Chan, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most significantly, in late 2024, the building faced unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that required correction by December 2024.
The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water outages, with multiple complaints recorded in October 2018 and November 2020, though these issues were reportedly resolved shortly after tenant complaints. In 2020, there was a violation regarding an illegal key-operated double-cylinder lock at the building entrance that was subsequently corrected. The property has maintained a good record with bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024.
However, rodent activity has emerged as a recent concern, with a "Rat Activity" designation in a June 2025 inspection, though previous inspections between 2019-2024 had passed without issues. The building's recent history includes two ventilation/exhaust complaints in 2023, with one investigation resulting in an inability to access the unit. The building's maintenance records show most issues are addressed promptly, though the garbage storage violation from late 2024 represents the most recent and currently outstanding concern.
