32 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

32 Mulberry Street is a 5-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1915 in Chinatown, currently owned by Cai Qun Fernandez. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in late 2020 (both building-wide and apartment-specific), though these issues were eventually resolved.

A significant safety concern was documented in June 2019 regarding a fire escape violation, along with a subsequent violation concerning an obstructed fire escape due to an air conditioner installation at the front of the building. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with no reported cases in recent years, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reporting system. Recent inspections and complaints show generally good maintenance compliance, with the building passing multiple rodent inspections from 2019-2025, indicating effective pest management.

There have been some recent activity regarding building inspections in 2023-2025, including two complaints about work without permits and an enforcement work order, though in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access or found no violations. A bedbug report from 2024-2025 showed zero infested units, continuing the building's recent history of successful pest management. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues in the past, particularly concerning the heating system and fire safety, recent records suggest improved compliance with building codes and maintenance requirements, with no major safety concerns reported in the past few years.
