SoHo, Little Italy and Hudson Square

This Lower Manhattan area runs from Houston Street south to Canal Street, from the Hudson River east into Little Italy around Mulberry Street. SoHo is known for its cast-iron loft buildings, with most facades built between 1840 and 1880 and protected by the SoHo–Cast Iron Historic District (designated 1973, extended 2010). Little Italy is now a few blocks of Mulberry Street north of Canal Street, home to the Feast of San Gennaro. Hudson Square, on the west side, holds the Manhattan entrance of the Holland Tunnel and was rezoned in 2013 to allow taller buildings. Subway service includes the C and E at Spring Street, the 1 at Houston Street, the R and W at Prince Street, the 6 at Spring Street and a cluster of Canal Street stations.

SoHo, Little Italy and Hudson Square has 8,555 open HPD housing violations, 1,692 of them Class C (immediately hazardous). Inspectors issued 1,884 new violations here in the last 12 months. That's the 21st most open violations of 33 neighborhoods in Manhattan.
