102 Charlton Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 22-story, 67-unit residential building at 102 Charlton Street in SoHo, owned by Hector Castro, has experienced ongoing maintenance issues since its completion in 2021, with the most pressing concerns being multiple water leaks. As of mid-2025, there are three active complaints related to water leaks: one describing heavy flow (April 2025) and two slow leaks (February 2025 and April 2025). The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in early 2025, including problems with heat/hot water (two incidents in February 2025) and issues requiring attention to paint/plaster on ceilings, walls, and floors.

A significant incident during construction in 2021 involved a worker injury from a scaffolding fall, leading to several safety violations related to fire extinguishers and construction equipment, though these were later resolved. The building's management has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings violations, though most were dismissed after showing compliance. These included failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for several years.

Recent complaints include an active elevator service issue (May 2025) and a work without a permit investigation (May 2025). The property has maintained a clean record regarding pests, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years and passed rodent inspections in 2024, 2023, and 2022. While the building's construction period (2020-2021) saw several safety and compliance issues, the most current concerns primarily revolve around water-related problems and routine maintenance, with many historical violations being resolved or dismissed.
