65 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The five-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement at 65 Ludlow Street, built in 1935 and currently owned by Parvinder Obhrai, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water and heating systems. Most notably, in December 2024, a cluster of complaints were documented including mold, heavy water flow issues, and damaged paint/plaster on ceilings and walls, particularly affecting Apartment 6. This apartment has since received multiple violations requiring repairs to water leaks, plaster surfaces, and paint, as well as a defective smoke detector and self-closing door issues that currently remain open as of April 2025.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed in 2023 and 2024, though some were resolved promptly. Other maintenance issues have included plumbing problems, door/window maintenance, and interior surface repairs, with several emergency complaints recorded and subsequently addressed. Despite these challenges, the building has demonstrated compliance with multiple regulatory inspections.

Since 2022, routine rodent inspections have consistently passed, and the property has shown no documented bedbug issues in recent years, with filings showing zero infested units from 2021-2024. The building underwent several tenant safety inspections in 2025, all of which were marked as compliance inspections. However, there was one Environmental Control Board violation issued in 2023 related to a Tenant Protection Plan during work in combined units 7&8, which was resolved with a $2,500 penalty. Historical records show regular permit issuance for various maintenance and repair work, particularly in late 2019 when multiple plumbing and electrical permits were issued.
