84 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

84 Forsyth Street, a 5-story mixed-use building in Chinatown built in 1900 and containing 8 units, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. The building has faced multiple gas-related concerns, with two complaints in 2020 and one in 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation. More seriously, in 2021 there was a violation issued for work being conducted contrary to a Stop Work Order, resulting in a $5,000 penalty, as well as multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions in 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access on one occasion and found no violations on another inspection.

The building had also been subject to various permit-related issues between 2019 and 2022, including an ECB violation for failing to comply with a Commissioner's Order and file a required Certificate of Correction, with associated penalties totaling $4,375. The property has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections and controls, though the results have varied, with rat activity noted in late 2024 and multiple instances of bait application in early 2025. The Department of Health conducted at least one investigation regarding rodent sightings in 2018.

On a more positive note, the building appears to be bedbug-free, with all annual reporting periods (2019-2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The most recent inspections and service requests suggest some level of ongoing pest management activity, particularly regarding rodent control, with the latest inspection in June 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, though this was preceded by multiple bait application events earlier in 2025. The property's documented history shows a mixture of compliance issues and successful adherence to recent health and safety inspections, particularly regarding bedbug management and recent rodent control improvements.
