100 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
100 Forsyth Street, a 5-story Old Law Tenement building in the Lower East Side, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2018. The building has undergone multiple inspections and investigations regarding unauthorized work, most notably in 2022 when a steel structure was constructed without permits, resulting in fines for obstructing fire escape paths. Recent rodent activity has been a significant concern, with inspection results showing rat presence throughout 2023-2025, though the latest inspections in early 2025 have recorded passed results.
The building's maintenance history reveals several mechanical and safety system failures, including multiple heat/hot water and appliance-related complaints in 2019-2020, with some emergency situations recorded but typically resolved through inspection. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, consistently reporting zero infested units, and recent inspections have shown improved sanitary conditions. Significant repair and maintenance work has been documented through building permits issued between 2018-2019, covering plumbing, electrical, and miscellaneous works.
A persistent pattern of food establishment complaints regarding rodents/insects/garbage was recorded from 2019-2024, suggesting historical issues with a commercial tenant's sanitation practices. While the building has faced multiple inspection-related violations, most have been resolved through appropriate corrective actions, including repairs to apartment 7's flooring and plaster surfaces, as well as addressing various fire safety concerns. The property is currently owned by Edmond Li.
