110 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The 6-story, 19-unit residential building at 110 Ludlow Street, owned by Yip Yau and built in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water outages affecting the entire building between December 2024 and February 2025, with eight separate complaints filed during December 2024 alone. These complaints, which were classified as emergency situations, indicate persistent problems with the building's essential systems.

Currently, there is an open complaint from May 2025 regarding refrigerator issues. The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from January 2022 related to unauthorized transient use of Apartment 3 on the second floor, including failures to provide required means of egress, fire alarm systems, and sprinklers. These violations resulted in penalties totaling $10,000, including a $2,500 fine for not maintaining code compliance.

On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years (2019-2023), and successful rodent inspections showing "Passed" results in all inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025. The building's management has also been responsive to documenting and addressing these issues, as evidenced by the regular filing of bedbug reports showing zero infestation counts. Additionally, while there have been complaints about unauthorized hotel room conversions in 2021 and 2022, these were resolved with violation notices or inspections. The property has maintained a valid Certificate of Occupancy for a Class "A" multiple dwelling, though there are currently open violations related to failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions as of April 2022.
