122 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The 16-unit, 5-story old law tenement building at 122 Forsyth Street, owned by Kin Cheung and dating back to 1900, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning are the recurring bedbug report violations; the building has received open violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though no infested units were reported in the 2021 filing period.

The building faced an ECB violation in July 2024 related to heating system access, for which a $250 penalty was imposed and resolved. Multiple complaints to the Department of Buildings in 2023 regarding various issues, including Local Law 188 compliance and boiler problems, were investigated but resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection.

The building's rodent inspection record shows consistent compliance, with passing results for most inspections between 2020 and 2024, except for a failed inspection in June 2025 for "Other Reasons." The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely compliance to reporting requirements, particularly regarding bedbug documentation. While the building has generally passed its rodent inspections, the most recent failure in 2025 could indicate emerging pest management challenges. It's noteworthy that the bedbug reporting violations, while recurring, appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of active infestations, as no infested units have been reported in recent filings.
