153 Orchard Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

153 Orchard Street is a 6-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Diamont Verjoni. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly in the winter months, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, including several instances when HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. Most notably, there was a radiator complaint in early 2025 that HPD could not inspect.

An open door-related complaint from December 2024 is currently pending resolution. The building has maintained a good record in terms of pest control, with no bedbug or rodent infestation complaints since at least 2019-2020, and all recent rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025 have passed. Recent structural and safety concerns have centered around the building's sidewalk shed, with multiple violations issued in August 2024 regarding inadequate lighting that created safety concerns.

The building has also had some mechanical issues, as evidenced by a March 2023 violation regarding improperly supported window A/C units on the 3rd and 6th floors, though this was resolved without a penalty. Despite these challenges, the building's overall environment appears stable, with no recent bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted multiple times per year. A work permit for electrical work was issued in July 2024, indicating ongoing maintenance of building systems.
