154 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

154 Orchard Street is a 6-story, 14-unit historic tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, built in 1920 and currently owned by Alon Noy. The building has experienced recurring health and safety concerns over recent years, with particular attention needed on food safety matters: there were multiple incidents of food poisoning reported between 2021-2023, involving three or more individuals in each case, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene deemed these incidents isolated and noted that inspections would continue according to normal schedules.

Additionally, there have been several food establishment complaints regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues and bare-hand food handling violations, most recently documented in April 2023. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past five years, with no documented infestations or eradication efforts recorded between 2019 and 2025. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with results generally indicating compliance and only one instance of rat activity noted in March 2023.

Housing Maintenance Code violations related to annual bedbug reporting have been consistently documented from 2021-2024, though these appear to have been resolved in subsequent inspections. The building's history also includes three significant complaints investigated by the Department of Buildings: regarding certificate of occupancy issues in 2024, illegal commercial use in 2019, and an alleged illegal conversion in 2018, though none of these complaints resulted in warranted violations upon inspection. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 have all passed, suggesting improved pest management in recent months.
