151 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
151 Ludlow Street is a 5-story, 7-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 151 Ludlow Owner, LLC. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, most prominently an ongoing series of refrigerator-related complaints, with multiple HPD service requests filed between January 13-27, 2025, all of which remain open as of the current date. The building has multiple open violations from 2024 related to self-closing door mechanisms that require repair or replacement, affecting both the bulkhead door to the roof and the basement public hall door.
Historical records show a pattern of door-related issues, with similar violations recorded in 2021 affecting various apartments. Additional maintenance concerns have emerged over previous years, including a 2021 violation regarding improper brick and mortar repairs at the building front, and an outstanding 2021 violation concerning unauthorized heating ventilation air conditioning (HVAC) units installed at the building rear. The property has undergone multiple permit issuances between 2018-2021 for various repair and maintenance work, including plumbing and electrical work.
While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years (2021-2025), with no reported cases, and has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2019 through March 2025, the concentration of recent refrigerator-related complaints and the presence of open violations related to self-closing doors raise ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's recent history shows periodic issues with building access and egress, as evidenced by closed complaints regarding locked/blocked exits in 2021. A 2018 ECB violation noted missing fire-stopping elements affecting occupied apartments, though this was subsequently resolved. Building inspections and violations have been generally addressed over time, with some being closed out after correction certifications were provided, though several open violations remain as of 2023-2024.
