74 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

74 Forsyth Street is a 5-story, 18-unit old law tenement building in Chinatown, built in 1900 and currently managed by Forsyth Owner LLC. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2023-2024, with multiple complaints filed for both entire building and individual apartments, though access for inspection was not granted in these instances. As of February 2025, there is an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions specifically related to garbage/recycling storage.

Pests have been a notable concern, with several complaints filed between 2023-2024 resulting in violations, and as of December 2023, Apartment 4 had open violations related to roach infestation, carbon monoxide detector issues, smoke detector problems, and self-closing door deficiencies. Multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints were filed in early 2024 and late 2023, though these were closed without resolution confirmation. The building's safety systems have required attention, with open violations as of December 2023 concerning defective carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in Apartment 4, as well as self-closing door issues.

There have been consistent rodent control efforts documented between 2023-2025, with bait applications and periodic inspections showing attention to pest management, though initial inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed. Notably, the building has maintained a zero-reporting record for bedbug infestations in recent years, with all bedbug reports from 2020-2024 indicating no affected units. While the property has shown ongoing efforts to address various maintenance issues, the persistence of certain violations and complaint patterns suggests continuing challenges with building systems and pest management.
