100 Suffolk Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The five-story tenement building at 100 Suffolk Street, owned by Robert Wakeland and built in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heating and hot water outages, with multiple complaints recorded between October 2020 and June 2021, affecting the entire building. The most recent significant incident occurred in September 2023, involving a heavy water leak that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Apartment 4E has been the focus of multiple maintenance issues, with recent violations as of October 2023 issues related to non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, roof leakage affecting ceilings, and impaired plaster surfaces. Historical records also show a mold issue in 2018 and various window and floor repairs needed in the same apartment. The building's safety systems and inspections appear to be a concern, with multiple violations open as of October 2023 related to fire safety equipment, and a recent violation regarding bedbug reporting compliance (as of April 2024).

However, on a positive note, the property has consistently passed recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to filings and permits, with the most recent permits issued in 2019 and 2020 for unspecified work. While the property has experienced recurrent maintenance issues, particularly affecting apartment 4E, the owner has generally responded to complaints and violations, with many being resolved through inspections and repairs. The building's heating system has shown persistent problems over time, representing the most significant pattern of resident impact.
