59 Bayard Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 5-story, 8-unit building at 59 Bayard Street in Chinatown, owned by Connie Mui, has experienced several significant infrastructure issues over the past year, most notably during a concentrated period of problems between May and June 2024. During this time, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with at least eight separate emergency complaints filed, some of which resulted in HPD violations and required inspections.

The building also experienced plumbing issues during this period, with three emergency complaints regarding water supply problems. More recently, as of January 2025, there is an open complaint related to electrical issues and inadequate lighting. The building has several active violations as of 2024-2025, particularly in Apartment 7R, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and self-closing doors.

Prior violations from 2018 remain notable, including two active ECB violations related to obstructed exit passageways and unauthorized work involving a kitchen exhaust duct in Apartment 2. Despite these various maintenance issues, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025. The building has also maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in recent years according to bedbug reporting requirements.
