53 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
53 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Qitao Dong. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water service issues over recent years, with multiple complaints filed between 2021 and 2024, particularly in late 2023 and early 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.
A concerning pattern emerged in June 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water, though some were duplicates and access issues hindered inspections. The building has also faced several safety concerns, including a carbon monoxide detector violation documented in June 2023, with inspection findings showing defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 3A. The property currently has multiple open violations from June 2023, including issues with the building's heating system access, garbage storage in public areas, and a requirement to post gas leak procedures.
While the building's management has been filing timely bedbug reports since 2021, consistently indicating zero infestation cases, there is one open unsanitary conditions violation related to garbage/recycling storage as of June 2025. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since 2019, passing all mandatory checks conducted between 2019 and 2025. Additionally, there was a heating system-related violation issued in April 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, though this appears to be a documentation issue rather than a pest problem.
