66 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

66 Mulberry Street is a 5-story, 32-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Gim Yee. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints in December 2020 affecting the entire building. Access issues during inspections were noted for several complaints, including a heat/hot water complaint from January 2021, and there was a gas utility referral in December 2020 that required multiple attempts to gain access.

The building has experienced persistent rodent and pest issues, with multiple Department of Health and Housing Maintenance Code complaints between 2020 and 2023, including documented infestations in Apartment 5 in August 2020. More recently, there have been several food establishment complaints in 2023, all of which were administratively closed after being addressed. The property has multiple open violations from a December 2019 inspection, including requirements to post proper notices for smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, as well as various administrative code violations related to building maintenance.

During 2021, there was at least one documented instance of improper window AC unit installation that resulted in a $2,500 penalty, though this was subsequently resolved. While the building's recent bedbug reports from 2022 to 2024 indicate no infestations, and the rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 show some passed inspections, there is a pattern of non-compliance evidenced by the most recent failed rodent inspections in early 2025. The property has had multiple permits issued between 2019 and 2020 for various work, including electrical and plumbing-related improvements, suggesting ongoing maintenance and upgrading efforts by the management.
