114 Suffolk Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

114 Suffolk Street is a 5-story, 15-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Daniel Alverez. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being recurring problems with heat and hot water systems. Most recently, in February 2023, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building, which was investigated by HPD with no violations issued.

Prior to this, in 2021, there was a heavy water leak incident, also investigated by HPD with no violations found. The building has had four separate violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021-2024, though recent filings (2023-2024) indicate no active infestations. The property has undergone rodent inspections with mixed results, showing rat activity in December 2023, April 2024, and most recently in April 2025, while passing other inspections.

In addition to the above, there have been documented issues with indoor air quality, specifically chemical vapors/gases/odors reported in March 2019 through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to pest control and compliance inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 resulting in a passed status, though an April 2025 inspection showed rat activity. The property has required multiple follow-up inspections and interventions, particularly regarding heat/hot water issues and bedbug reporting compliance, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. While the building has generally responded to complaints through inspections and resolutions, many issues require repeated attention, suggesting persistent infrastructural challenges.
