146 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The five-story, 24-unit tenement building at 146 Forsyth Street in the Lower East Side, owned by Sau Chu Lee, has maintained a generally good track record in recent years, particularly in terms of pest management. Since 2019, the building has undergone annual bedbug reporting, with each of the seven consecutive annual filings from 2019 through 2024 reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units.

This consistent record suggests effective management of bedbug prevention measures in the property. However, the building has faced some challenges with rodent activity, particularly during the 2023-2025 period.

While January and April 2024 inspections recorded rat activity, the property has demonstrated improved management, passing the most recent rodent inspections in April 2025 and October 2024. Historical inspection records show a pattern of generally passing rodent inspections, with only three instances of rat activity recorded between 2023 and 2025, indicating that while rodent presence has been documented, the property management has responded to these issues appropriately. The building, constructed in 1910, has successfully maintained compliance with health and safety inspections, particularly in the bedbug management area, while showing responsiveness to rodent control matters as demonstrated by the subsequent passing inspections following recorded instances of rat activity.
