127 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

127 Allen Street is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building located in New York's Lower East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kitty Huang. The building's recent history (2022-2025) shows recurring issues with basic services, particularly heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2025. There are also ongoing concerns about building maintenance, including window frames, flooring, and garbage storage.

Notably, there are several open violations from 2024 related to building systems and safety equipment, including issues with the heating system access, hot water availability, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 5A, and an obstruction of fire escape egress. The building's inspection record indicates consistent rodent control compliance, passing all inspections from 2021 through 2025. While there have been multiple complaints regarding various building systems, many inspections have been unable to gain access to unit interiors, particularly in 2025 during investigations of heat and hot water issues.

The property has some historical complaints and violations, including two instances of "Work Without a Permit" complaints from 2020 and 2022, and two investigations of possible illegal conversion in 2018 and 2020, though no violations were established in these cases. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with some violations certified as corrected (such as the heating system access violation from 2024) while others remain open. The property has maintained regular rodent inspection compliance, indicating generally effective pest management practices. However, the repeated nature of heat and hot water complaints, along with various maintenance issues, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.
