153 Suffolk Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

153 Suffolk Street is a 4-story, 5-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Della Ha. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple complaints and inspections noting rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though inspections in March and May 2025 resulted in Passed compliance results. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 3, which has open violations as of October 2023 including broken window sash spring balances and a loose electrical outlet.

Significant health and safety concerns have included lead-based paint hazards, with multiple violations recorded in 2023 requiring correction, and an infestation of mice documented in May 2023. The building's history shows persistent issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints between 2022 and 2024. Water supply problems were documented in both 2020 and 2023 as emergency situations, though these were eventually resolved.

Recent inspections have focused on both general maintenance and specific health concerns, with the most recent rodent-related service requests occurring in March 2025. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past several reporting periods, with no infested units reported. A gas-related complaint in 2020 was investigated but no violations were found.
