176 Ludlow Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

176 Ludlow Street is a 5-story, 29-unit Old Law Tenement building located in New York City's Lower East Side, owned by Michelle Goldstein and constructed in 1900. The building has undergone regular inspections and faced various maintenance challenges over recent years, though recent records suggest improving conditions. Most notably, a significant gas supply issue was identified in early 2018 with violations concerning unapproved gas installations and lack of proper testing, for which penalties were imposed.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded in 2018 regarding public hall conditions, fire safety, and a water leak at the first-story hall, as well as delayed kitchen gas supply issues in apartment 1C. Since 2021, the building has shown improved compliance with health and safety regulations, with consistent passing results in rodent inspections throughout 2023-2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in November 2021. Bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 show no infestations, with the most recent filings (May 2025) indicating zero infested or re-infested units.

The building experienced some health department interventions in 2019 regarding food establishment issues and construction dust, as well as earlier complaints about rodent and insect problems in 2019. A DOHMH complaint from late 2023 regarding food protection was administratively closed after resolution. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2021, with all reports indicating zero infestations. The building's most recent inspection history shows consistent passing results, particularly in rodent inspections, suggesting improved overall maintenance and compliance with health and safety regulations.
