69 Eldridge Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

69 Eldridge Street, a 5-story old law tenement building owned by Tristar Management NY Inc., has experienced several notable issues affecting resident comfort and safety over recent years. The building has documented persistent heat and hot water problems in 2020, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) from January through October, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in at least some instances.

More recently, there have been concerns about smoking violations, with three separate Department of Health complaints filed between 2020 and 2021, all of which were closed after administrative resolution. The building's maintenance record shows some basic compliance issues, with active violations noted in 2023 for failure to file the required External Low-Pressure Inspection reports for 2019, 2021, and 2022.

While bedbug reporting has been completed for the periods ending in 2021 and 2024 with no infested units reported, the building has faced rodent-related challenges, particularly in 2023 and 2024, showing rat activity and requiring multiple bait applications during the summer of 2023. The most recent inspections in 2025 have shown passing results for rodent inspections, suggesting recent improvements in pest control management. The building's age (1910) and classification as an old law tenement are consistent with its historical status, though the property has maintained basic compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and completed various necessary repairs and maintenance tasks as documented through the city's systems.
