157 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

157 Orchard Street is a 6-story, 18-unit New Law tenement built in 1900, currently owned by Martha Kane. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three building-wide incidents reported between late 2022 and December 2023, the most recent being in December 2023, where HPD was unable to gain access to confirm conditions.

A significant pest control violation was issued in July 2023 for both mice and roach infestations in apartment 10, though the building has maintained a generally good record in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three filing periods and successful rodent inspections in March 2025 and October 2024. The building has undergone various inspections and maintenance checks, with some minor issues noted in 2023, including problems with windows, plumbing, flooring, and unsanitary conditions, though most of these inspections resulted in no violations being issued.

Historical records show a pattern of successful pest eradication efforts between 2019 and 2021, with one or two units treated for infestation during that period. The property has had two Department of Buildings complaints in the past two years regarding sidewalk shed conditions and enforcement work orders, neither resulting in violations. A construction-related permit was issued in December 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available records.
