164 Attorney Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

164 Attorney Street is a 7-story, 28-unit residential building constructed in 1961 in Manhattan's Lower East Side, currently owned by Chris Chin. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and regulation compliance issues over the past few years, particularly regarding elevator safety and building facade maintenance. An October 2021 complaint about the elevator's single device with no alternate service led to an Oath Violation, and a subsequent December 2022 Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation detailed multiple elevator issues including problems with counterweights, hoist ropes, cab phone, maintenance logs, and an expired fire extinguisher, though this violation was ultimately resolved.

The building faced additional compliance challenges with facade maintenance, receiving a December 2022 ECB violation for failing to submit the required Cycle 9A Critical Examination Report of Exterior Walls, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty, though records indicate this was resolved. A separate violation for not filing the FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report by the February 2022 deadline was ultimately dismissed in August 2023. Despite these maintenance and compliance challenges, 164 Attorney Street has maintained a strong record in terms of pest control and overall building hygiene.

Over the past six years, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings, with no units affected in the 2024-2025, 2023-2024, 2022-2023, 2021-2022, 2020-2021, or 2019-2020 reporting periods. Additionally, rodent inspections conducted regularly from 2019 through March 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management and sanitation practices. While the building has faced some regulatory challenges, it appears to be actively addressing these issues, as evidenced by the resolution of several violations and the consistent passing of health and safety inspections.
