141 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

141 Allen Street is a 6-story, 4-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Manmay Ip. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during the winter months of late 2021 and early 2022, with documented complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in December 2021 and January 2022.

In both instances, inspectors either found that heat and hot water had been restored (in December 2021) or were unable to gain access to perform inspections (in January 2022), though both cases were classified as emergency situations. More recently, the building has undergone mandatory bedbug reporting periods, with the latest report covering December 2024 showing no current infestations or eradication efforts.

The previous two reporting periods (July 2024 and July 2023) also indicated no ongoing infestations, though the July 2023 report did note the eradication of 4 units during the 2021-2022 period. While the building has shown improvements in pest management in recent years, the historical pattern of heat and hot water issues suggests attention to building systems may be warranted, though no recent complaints have been recorded in this category. The building's age and the nature of the reported issues are consistent with typical challenges faced by similar vintage structures in New York City.
