10 Delancey Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

The six-story tenement building at 10 Delancey Street, owned by William Tam, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018. Most notably, there was a period of serious heat and hot water system problems in October 2018, with multiple emergency complaints filed regarding the entire building's services, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

More recent inspections in July 2023 revealed several violations requiring attention to safety features, including defective self-closing doors at both the entrance vestibule and apartment 4, removal of illegal fastenings at roof doors, and a requirement to properly secure the fire escape's drop ladder. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years across multiple annual filings, and most recent rodent inspections (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021) showing consistent passing results.

However, there was one failed rodent inspection in June 2023 for "Other Reasons," though subsequent inspections have passed. A food safety complaint from June 2019 regarding contaminated food was administratively closed after resolution. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and adherence to most housing codes, with the majority of violations from 2023 being promptly certified as corrected, though their initial identification suggests ongoing attention to building systems and safety features is necessary.
