109 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
109 Ludlow Street is a 6-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Moti Haber. The property has experienced significant heating and hot water issues in recent months, with a cluster of complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, including at least four complaints that required HPD inspections and resulted in violations. These recent heating system problems follow a pattern of similar issues that have persisted over time, with multiple tenants reporting inadequate heat and hot water through 311 service requests.
The building has also accumulated several concerning safety violations as of December 2024, including non-functioning or missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in multiple apartments (Units 5, 11, and 19), as well as defective self-closing doors in these units, which represent violations of the Housing Maintenance Code. Recent inspections and complaints from 2023-2024 reveal various potential safety issues, including unauthorized construction work and code violations. These include a 2023 complaint regarding unpermitted electrical work in an occupied unit, installation of gas piping and meters in prohibited locations on floors 4-6, and missing fireproofing in the first-floor commercial space.
The building's owners have faced enforcement actions, including an Environmental Control Board violation issued in July 2024 with a $6,250 penalty for failure to comply with a previous commissioner's order. However, the property has maintained good sanitation levels, as evidenced by passed rodent inspections conducted annually from 2019 to 2025, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years. The building's violation history shows a mix of both resolved and open violations, with some requiring ongoing attention, particularly regarding life safety systems such as smoke detectors and self-closing doors across multiple units.
