103 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The five-story, 16-unit tenement building at 103 Allen Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Han Hsieh Corp, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with some recurring patterns of concern. Most notably, as of December 2024, there is an open complaint regarding lighting issues (no lighting) that requires attention.

The building has faced multiple infrastructure challenges in recent years, including a water leak with heavy flow in December 2022, and a cluster of issues in June 2021 involving no heat/hot water for the entire building, problems with cooking gas, an unsanitary garbage/recycling storage situation, water supply concerns, and missing signage. While these issues were generally addressed and closed by July 2021, the building's history shows periodic problems with essential services. The property has also had some code violations, including an open violation from June 2021 regarding unauthorized alterations involving plywood and wood studs creating an enclosed room under public hall stairs on the second story.

However, the building has maintained strong pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last six consecutive filing periods from 2018 to 2024, and consistent passing results in rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, 2023, and prior years. The building's systems have shown some vulnerability to service disruptions, particularly regarding heat/hot water, as evidenced by complaints in 2019 and 2021, though many of these issues were resolved promptly. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 indicates ongoing attention to pest control, and the absence of bedbug reports in recent years is a positive sign regarding the building's overall maintenance and management of common pests.
