16 Spring Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
The four-story, three-unit building at 16 Spring Street in Nolita, owned by Chong Zhen Lu and built in 1915, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most prominently, the building has consistently failed to comply with the Housing Maintenance Code's requirement to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, with these violations remaining open as of April 2024.
Between 2018-2019, the property underwent significant renovation work that generated multiple complaints and violations, including excessive construction dust, debris, and improper lighting on common floors, though these issues were eventually resolved. There's an active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection report. The building has maintained a generally acceptable rodent control record, passing inspections in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity reported in March 2022 and a failed inspection for other reasons in December 2018.
While multiple violations were issued in 2023 for failing to file various annual inspection reports (including for external low pressure systems and the boiler), most of these were subsequently dismissed by September 2024. The building was the subject of a 311 complaint about an unlicensed food establishment in 2022, which was addressed and closed in 2024. Permit records show that work was authorized in December 2018 for electrical and plumbing modifications, which corresponds with the construction-related violations noted at that time.
