120 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

120 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Abraham Soudry. The property has experienced several recurring issues with heating systems, most notably during 2020 and 2022 when both building-wide and apartment-specific heat and hot water failures were reported, though these issues were eventually resolved. In recent months, the building has faced multiple active complaints (as of mid-2025) regarding electrical work, plumbing, and restroom compliance issues, with some complaints receiving initial inspections but either blocked access or showing no violations.

The building's recent history includes service requests for unauthorized tattooing services in 2024 and smoking in prohibited areas in 2025, both of which were addressed by the Department of Health. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding rodent control, with all inspections from 2022 through 2025 passing, except for one rat activity report in 2021. Significant violations were noted in 2019 regarding safety systems for transient use in Apartment II, including lack of required means of egress, sprinkler systems, and fire alarms, though these issues were subsequently resolved.

The building has consistently filed bedbug reports from 2019 through 2023 showing no infestations or required eradications. Current active complaints regarding electrical wiring, restroom compliance, and illegal activity are being addressed by relevant city agencies, with some having received emergency response team assignment. The building's maintenance history shows engagement with various city departments including HPD and DOB to address resident concerns, though some recent inspection attempts have met with access difficulties.
