148 Attorney Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 6-unit, 6-story residential building at 148 Attorney Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Ari Schottenstein, was completed in 2018 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance challenges since its construction. Most notably, in December 2024, three serious Environmental Control Board violations were issued regarding safety compliance issues related to a first-floor and cellar duplex (garden apartment), including inadequate fire alarm systems, insufficient means of egress for transient use, and improper use of permanent residential space, though these fines were later resolved.
The building has experienced recurring bedbug report filing violations in 2023-2024 and multiple complaints regarding illegal occupancy issues, with the most recent complaint about illegal hotel rooms in November 2024 resulting in a vacate order that was later fully rescinded in March 2025. During its construction and initial occupancy period from 2018-2021, the building faced various construction-related compliance issues, including multiple Construction Safety Compliance violations in 2019-2020, a Stop Work Order in December 2021 related to construction safety concerns, and several permit-related inspections. The property has maintained excellent rodent control compliance, successfully passing all nine inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025.
Despite the documented violations, many have been resolved through proper remediation or have had their penalties dismissed. The building's recent history (2021-2025) shows improved maintenance compliance, with no new major violations recorded since the 2024 ECB citations, and all recent rodent inspections passing successfully. The property has maintained active compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements through 2024 and has documented compliance with various Department of Buildings permit requirements, with multiple permits issued and properly maintained throughout its operational history.
