150 Forsyth Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

150 Forsyth Street is a 6-story, 9-unit apartment building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side, owned by Jason Situ and constructed in 1995. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues since late 2022, with multiple complaints continuing through 2023, September 2025, despite multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections being unable to gain access to units. The building underwent emergency repair work between 2023-2024 to address various maintenance issues, including repairing self-closing doors on multiple floors' stairwells to meet fire safety requirements, and correcting door-related violations at both the building entrance and vestibule.

The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of infrastructure problems, particularly during winter months, with multiple heat and hot water complaints documented. Other maintenance concerns have been addressed, including a 2023 violation for a door stopper issue at the building entrance, and previous issues with fire stair doors on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th stories. While rodent sightings were reported in late 2022, subsequent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management. Notably, the building has maintained a "0" infestation record for bedbugs across all recent annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, with no units requiring treatment or showing evidence of reinfestation.

The property has undergone regular inspections and compliance checks, with most violation cases being promptly addressed and closed. Two emergency door/window complaints from 2021 and 2022 were resolved, and a Department of Buildings violation from 2020 was dismissed after demonstrating corrected defects. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 show continued compliance with health standards, though there were two failed inspections in late 2022 that required follow-up. The building appears to maintain basic compliance with health and safety standards overall, despite the ongoing heat and hot water system challenges that have persisted since 2022.
