140 Eldridge Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 6-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building at 140 Eldridge Street, owned by Peter Chen, has experienced a series of concerning violations and maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has consistently failed to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, resulting in multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations.
In March 2023, the building faced significant safety violations, including obstructed exit passageways, unauthorized school occupancy, and various maintenance issues, leading to three Environmental Control Board violations with associated penalties totaling $1,955 (though records indicate these were resolved). The building's rodent inspection history shows some mixed results, with three failed inspections in 2023-2024, though recent inspections in early 2025 and 2024 have passed.
A Department of Health complaint regarding a food establishment was opened in August 2024 and resolved in January 2025. The property has maintained a consistent structure as an Old Law Tenement since its 1900 construction, with records showing regular inspections and compliance checks, though the recurring violations related to bedbug reporting and the 2023 safety violations suggest ongoing management challenges.
