155 Chrystie Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 8-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement at 155 Chrystie Street, owned by Mehmet Capin and built in 1905, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water infrastructure. Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding water leaks, with significant incidents recorded in January 2024 involving both heavy flow and damp spot leaks, and another water-related issue in March 2024. These resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations, including an open violation regarding visible mold conditions in Apartment 7's kitchen and bathroom ceilings noted during an April 2024 inspection.
Other notable maintenance issues include periodic heating problems (most recently in August 2024), plumbing concerns (September 2024), and pest-related complaints in late 2023. The building's infrastructure issues are documented through multiple 311 service requests, with the most recent being a water supply issue in September 2024. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained compliance with regular rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025.
The property has a history of addressing violations when cited, as evidenced by several closed violations, including repairs to a loose handrail at the building entrance and roof leaks in Apartment 7. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to tenant complaints, with many issues being resolved through HPD intervention, though some conditions have required multiple complaints before resolution. The building's fire safety equipment and general maintenance appear to be maintained adequately, with no significant recent violations or complaints regarding these systems.
