145 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 6-story, 10-unit residential building at 145 Allen Street in the Lower East Side, owned by Charles Wu, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since 2020, most notably concerning water systems and heating. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems, with at least five separate incidents reported through the Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The building has also faced persistent plumbing challenges, including water leaks in January and February 2022, and violations related to inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 9. More recently, six new violations were issued in September 2024 for failure to file 2023 external low-pressure inspections, which remain active.
In terms of pest management, while the building has had documented rodent activity in 2023, all subsequent inspections up to April 2025 have passed, with baiting applied in December 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual filings from 2019 to present. The building has had several concerning incidents related to fire safety and emergency systems. Notable defects were reported regarding fire escape drop ladders in April 2022, though these violations were subsequently closed.
The property has also been under scrutiny for unauthorized work, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2019 and 2024 regarding unlicensed/illegal work. Three active ECB violations from November 2024 involve alleged unpermitted electrical and plumbing work in the first-floor commercial space, each carrying a penalty of $6,250. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to inspections and violations, as evidenced by multiple repairs and certifications, though access issues have been noted in several inspection reports. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2023-2024) shows no infestations, continuing the building's record of pest control compliance in this regard.
