34 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
34 Mott Street is a 6-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Chinatown, built in 1920 and currently owned by Chui Chan. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with the most recent emergency plumbing and heavy flow water leak complaints logged in December 2023 and closed in April 2024, following similar complaints in October 2022.
A significant cluster of violations was documented in October 2022, primarily affecting the 6th story and including problems with ceiling paint, roof leaks, light fixtures, and self-closing doors, along with multiple health and safety concerns in apartment 20BLAC regarding pest infestation (mice and roaches), smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and ceiling repairs. The building's maintenance history shows attention to rodent control, with compliance inspections generally passing, though there were indications of rat activity noted in both 2021 and 2025. Bedbug inspections have consistently reported zero infestations since 2020.
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has investigated various complaints throughout the building's recent history, including a building-wide heating issue in January 2019 and more recent plumbing and water-related concerns. While many complaints have been closed without violations being issued, the pattern of water-related issues and building system concerns suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing no infestations since records began.
