58 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
58 Orchard Street is a 6-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Wai Keung Lee, located in the Chinatown neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues over the past several years, with significant concerns about rodent infestations being particularly notable. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple rodent-related complaints and violation follow-ups, with inspections showing "Rat Activity" and the need for bait applications.
The building also faced serious safety concerns in March 2024, with open violations noting uncapped gas lines on the 2nd and 6th floors, issues with the fire escape ladder, and problems with heating in apartment 16. Other notable issues include consistent complaints about heat and hot water (particularly in 2020 and 2019), sanitary conditions requiring attention to garbage/recycling storage, and various plumbing problems. Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple illegal conversion complaints, though inspection outcomes varied with some access issues noted.
The building has undergone several rodent inspections since 2022, with mixed results including both "Passed" inspections and periods showing "Rat Activity." While recent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 show no infestations, the building's history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and pest control. The property has required multiple follow-up inspections and had various housing maintenance code violations, though many have been marked as resolved. The most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management. The building's maintenance history also includes multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections, with varied outcomes regarding plumbing, sanitation, and heating issues.
