301 East Houston Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 301 East Houston Street in the Lower East Side, owned by David Shorenstein and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are active violations for failing to file the required External Low Pressure Inspections for 2018-2023, with these violations issued in September 2024.

The building has also had recurring sanitation-related complaints in mid-2023, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage and pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in these cases. While the building's Bedbug Reporting shows no infestations or eradications in the last two reporting periods (2021-2022 and 2022-2023), there was a violation issued in 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings demonstrated no issues.

Despite these concerns, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025, and recent Department of Buildings inspections regarding Certificate of Occupancy and tenant safety found no violations warranting action, with the last compliance inspection occurring in 2020 and a storefront-related complaint from 2019 also resulting in no violations. The property history shows patterns of sanitation-related issues, though most complaints have been resolved promptly, and the building maintains a generally good safety record with regular inspections passing requirements.
