143 Ludlow Street Lower East Side New York

Comfort and convenience meld with old world charm in one of the most identifiable buildings on the Lower East Side, 143 Ludlow Street. Purchased in 2012 by Samy Mahfar for SMA Equities, the six story, 13,560-square-foot former Old Law Tenement today has 21 residential units and two commercial stores. 

Located between Stanton and Rivington Streets, it’s a jewel of the past polished into a diamond for today with spacious layouts, hardwood floors, noise-proofed windows, and individually-controlled central air and heating. The amenities are absolutely 21st century, including a fitness room, furnished roof deck, and for security, and audio/video intercom system.

SAMY MAHFAR BRINGS MERIT TO HIS LOWER EAST SIDE TENANTS

By investing in improvements at his buildings at 22 Spring Street, 102 Norfolk Street, and 113 Stanton Street, Samy Mahfar and his firm SMA Equities have transformed living conditions for many tenants.

First, he cured nearly 277 violations, most of which pre-existed long before he bought the buildings. He then began a series of renovations that vastly enhanced building safety, such as video intercoms, security cameras and new and stronger entry doors.

In addition, Samy Mahfar upgraded the electrical systems so that residents are now able to run air-conditioners at the same time as hair dryers, toasters, and other appliances.
