60 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

At 60 Mulberry Street, a 30-unit, 6-story tenement built in 1915 and currently owned by Allan Chin, there are several ongoing maintenance and sanitary issues that require attention. Most notably, there are multiple open complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions in April and May 2025, along with recurring issues with pigeon waste documented by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in 2025. The building has experienced several significant maintenance problems in recent months, including a period of no heat or hot water reported in April 2025 (though this was subsequently resolved) and various other unsanitary conditions.

Apartment 10R has multiple active Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024, including issues with hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees and leaky faucets in both the bathroom and kitchen. The building's recent history shows consistent challenges with pest control and sanitation, including rat activity as recently as June 2025, though the most recent rodent inspection passed. Previous violations and complaints indicate ongoing maintenance issues, such as problems with self-closing doors (noted as Class C violations), plumbing concerns, and historical issues with heating systems. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history with no reported infestations since 2019.

Importantly, there are several open Department of Buildings violations related to external low-pressure inspection filings from 2019 and 2021, as well as an active ECB violation regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order from February 2022 related to boiler/heating equipment access information. The property has undergone various inspections, with most recent rodent inspections showing some failed results for "Other Reasons" in 2024. Multiple service requests and housing code complaints remain open as of mid-2025, suggesting ongoing challenges with building maintenance and sanitation. The building's management has a history of multiple attempts to address issues through inspections, though some have been marked as "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" in various complaints since 2019.
