168 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

At 168 Ludlow Street, a 5-story tenement building constructed in 1900 and managed by Jason Misrahi, the most recent inspection in September 2024 revealed several notable issues primarily concentrated in apartment 8. These included problems with electrical outlets (multiple instances of improper repairs or replacements), various safety equipment deficiencies (including inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), and one open violation regarding missing or defective window guards.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with multiple complaints in September 2024 regarding flooring, refrigerator, electric/gas range, and wall conditions, though inspections found no violations for these issues. A pattern of emergency service requests emerged in late 2022 involving plumbing and cooking gas problems, though these inspections also failed to document violations. The building's history shows some concerning safety issues, including a 2019 violation for obstructed exit passageways which resulted in a $1,250 penalty, though this was later resolved.

While there have been no recent bedbug reports (all previous filings showed zero infestations), and the property has generally passed rodent inspections, there was one failed inspection in June 2022. The building has maintained an active response to housing maintenance code complaints, with multiple issues being addressed through HPD inspections, though some complaints were closed without access being granted for inspection. The most recent rodent inspections in 2025, and consistently passing previous inspections, suggest improved pest management, though the building has a documented history of various maintenance and safety compliance issues that require monitoring.
