158 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
158 Orchard Street is a 5-story, 38-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Lower East Side, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Morris Platt. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerningly a food poisoning complaint filed with DOHMH in December 2024 that remains unresolved as of July 2025.
There have been recurring problems with bedbug reporting compliance from 2020 through 2024, with Open violations related to annual bedbug report filings recorded in 2022, 2023 and 2024. The building had a heat and hot water emergency complaint in December 2020, though this was resolved within days according to HPD records. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, showing mixed results with several instances of rat activity noted in 2022-2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have passed.
An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in March 2023 regarding improperly maintained window A/C units on the 3rd and 5th floors, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed. The building’s maintenance record shows a pattern of addressing basic building code requirements, including the posting of tenant information and housing guide notices, most of which were certified as resolved by April 2021. While there have been some health and safety concerns, particularly regarding pests and heating systems, recent inspections suggest improved conditions, though the unresolved food poisoning complaint from 2024 represents an ongoing health concern for residents.
