56 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

56 Ludlow Street is a 5-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Jill Burkee. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent incidents occurring in March 2025, when both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Housing Maintenance Code responded to complaints of no heat or hot water, though these issues were reportedly resolved shortly after inspection.

A similar heating complaint was filed in February 2020, which was administratively closed in June 2024. The building had one notable regulatory violation in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to be an administrative oversight rather than a reflection of an active infestation.

The property's bedbug reporting history is commendable, with no documented infestations in any of the annual reports filed from 2019 through 2023, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during those periods. Additionally, the building has demonstrated consistent pest control compliance through its rodent inspection results, passing all annual inspections from 2019 through the most recent inspection in June 2025. Prior to March 2025, there have been no other significant complaints or violations on record, and the building's overall maintenance history suggests regular upkeep of common areas and prompt attention to reported issues, though the heating system reliability remains a notable concern for residents.
