167 Suffolk Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

167 Suffolk Street is a 6-story, 26-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Richard Ramirez. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concern over heat and hot water problems in early 2024, when multiple complaints were filed and verified by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More recently, between May 2025 and March 2024, there have been several issues requiring attention, including water leaks, door problems, electrical concerns, and various non-emergency maintenance needs, all of which were resolved.

The building has also faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by rodent sightings and a pest-related violation in 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 show compliance. The property has maintained an active approach to bedbug management, with all recent annual reports (2020-2024) showing zero infested units. While Department of Buildings violations from 2019 and 2020 were resolved through proper remediation, there are currently some open violations from 2023-2024 that require attention, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, heating system access, door self-closing mechanisms, and window repairs in basement apartment BA.

The building has passed multiple rodent inspections in 2022-2025, though there were instances of rat activity noted in 2024 that required follow-up compliance inspections, which were passed. The frequency of heating and hot water complaints in early 2024 stands out as a significant concern, though most other issues appear to be addressed relatively quickly through proper channels. The building has maintained a regular schedule of inspections and compliance checks, with most violations being promptly corrected, though some open violations remain as of the most recent data.
