153 Ridge Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

153 Ridge Street is a 5-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York's Lower East Side neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Aslan Ljulja. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including water supply problems (January 2025), and multiple violations issued in November 2024 for Apartment A, including mold, water leak, and damage to plastered surfaces and paint.

The building has faced persistent challenges with pests, as evidenced by various 311 complaints between 2021-2024, including a 2024 violation for roach infestation in Apartment A. Infrastructure issues have also been documented, including plumbing problems (water supply and steam pipe) and ceiling damage, with related violations still open as of November 2024. The building's maintenance history shows efforts to address heating and hot water issues (documented emergency in July 2022) and various plumbing concerns, though not all complaints resulted in violations.

Notably, the property has maintained a successful track record in rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations since the single occurrence in 2020. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, the maintenance violations and service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and habitability conditions, particularly in Apartment A where multiple recent violations have been documented. The property has a history of addressing maintenance issues through inspections and corrections, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data.
