18 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

18 Mott Street is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building located in Chinatown, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Laura Yu. The building has experienced several significant events and compliance requirements over the past five years.

Most notably, there have been recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file the required annual reports, though recent filings from late 2023 and 2024 show no reported infestations or eradications. The property underwent some renovation or work in 2020 that led to a safety inspection and the issuance of an ECB violation for inadequate tenant protection plans, resulting in a $625 penalty, though the stop work order was eventually rescinded in October 2020. The building has maintained generally good safety and maintenance standards, passing multiple rodent inspections in the past two years, though there was one failed inspection in April 2025 and another in November 2021.

The property has shown consistent compliance with rodent control measures, passing seven out of nine inspections since 2021. Records also show legitimate permit activity, with work permits issued in 2019 and 2020 for various maintenance and improvement projects. While the building's history shows some regulatory challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and tenant protection during construction, recent inspections and permits suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by the ownership.
