162 Stanton Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

162 Stanton Street is a 5-story, 20-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Michael Rosen and constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with a significant cluster of problems documented in May 2020, including complaints about walls, ceilings, water leaks, and mold, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases.

A more concerning series of violations emerged in late 2020 related to building facade maintenance, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued for wall maintenance failure, noting cracks throughout the front facade, resulting in penalties totaling $10,030 that were ultimately resolved. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in 2019-2020, though most recent data suggests improved conditions. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent reporting period (2024-2025) showing zero infested units.

Additionally, regular rodent inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025 show consistent "Passed" results, indicating no rodent-related issues. Recent years have shown fewer complaints, with the most recent building violation being dismissed in May 2022 for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous violations from 2020. The building has maintained an active inspection record for both rodent control and bedbug monitoring, with no reports of infestations or infestations being successfully eradicated in recent years, suggesting improved overall building maintenance and pest control management.
