146 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

146 Orchard Street is a 6-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Sion Misrahi. The property has experienced recurring heating and water issues, particularly during the winter months of 2024, with multiple complaints filed for both heat and hot water problems in February 2024 alone, including emergency-level complaints. These followed several similar issues in early 2024 and the spring of 2022, when multiple tenants reported problems with inadequate heat and hot water.

The building has also faced several other maintenance challenges, including water leaks (documented in both 2024 and 2022), and various unaddressed complaints in 2022 regarding plumbing (toilet), appliance (electric/gas range), and safety concerns (smoke detector). Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the annual filings from 2021 through 2024. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections, with inspections showing "Passed" results from 2019 through 2025, demonstrating effective pest management.

A notable safety concern was briefly documented in 2022 regarding a carbon monoxide detector, though this was resolved according to the Housing Maintenance Code. The Department of Buildings has no open violations on record since a gas utility referral in late 2019, where inspectors were unable to gain access after multiple attempts. A plumbing permit was issued in November 2022, though the specific work performed under this permit is not detailed in the records.
