169 Allen Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

169 Allen Street is a 30-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Angie Cordero. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with 2023 showing two identical complaints within a day of each other in mid-October, following a similar pattern of complaints in 2019 and 2018, all of which were resolved relatively quickly according to HPD records.

The building's maintenance history has included several notable violations and maintenance needs, particularly concerning Unit 4B in 2022, which faced both pest control issues (specifically, roach infestation) and door repair needs. While there were bedbug reporting violations noted in 2023-2024, the building's recent filings (most recently from April 2024) indicated no infested or re-infested units during the specified reporting period of November 2022 to October 2023. The building's current status shows some ongoing compliance issues, with active Department of Buildings violations as of 2024 regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for both 2022 and 2023.

However, the property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all ten such inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025 showing no evidence of rodent infestation. The building has complied with most housing maintenance codes, though there have been multiple instances requiring correction of various issues, including the need for annual bedbug report filings, as evidenced by the violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The combination of recurring heat/hot water issues, historical pest control challenges, and recent inspection filing discrepancies suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring needs for the property.
