76 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

76 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Bing Du, located in Manhattan's Lower East Side neighborhood. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues, particularly in recent years.

In 2022, there were multiple violations issued against Apartment 5, including infestations of mice and roaches, water leak issues in the kitchen, and defective plaster and paint conditions. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a water leak complaint in 2022 that resulted in violations, and a heat/hot water complaint in 2020 affecting the entire building, though inspectors could not gain access to investigate. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections with mixed results; while recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 showed "Passed" ratings, there were instances of rat activity noted in late 2022 and December 2023.

The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in official reports from 2021 through 2025, with all annual filings showing no infested units. Several historical violations remain open from 2018, including issues with the public hall ceiling paint, fire retardant materials, and water leaks, as well as concerns about rubbish and recycling encumbrances in the first-story public hall. While the building has made some progress in addressing various maintenance issues, the ongoing rodent inspections and persistent violations from Apartment 5 in 2022 indicate there are still periodic maintenance challenges that require attention.
