178 Bowery, Manhattan, NY 10012

178 Bowery is a five-story, seven-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Nolita, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ping Cheung. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2016, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing no issues.

Notably, there have been regular bedbug reporting violations recorded annually from 2021 to 2024, with the most recent violation in April 2024, though these violations appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation. The building's bedbug report for the period 2022-2023 shows no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue despite the violation notices.

In early 2018, multiple violations were recorded regarding building signage and documentation requirements, including the need to post information about the superintendent/janitor and heating system access, as well as maintaining proper registration number signage. All these violations were certified as corrected by January 29, 2018. The building's overall maintenance record shows a pattern of timely addressing violations once they are identified, with a particular emphasis on maintaining a pest-free environment, as evidenced by the consistent passing of rodent inspections and the absence of documented bedbug infestations in recent years.
