47 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
47 Mott Street is a 6-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building located in Chinatown, built in 1915 and currently owned by Kenny Leung. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly between 2022-2025, with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water loss in January 2022 affecting the entire building, followed by various plumbing and water leak issues.
More recently, between 2024-2025, there have been significant maintenance concerns including unsanitary conditions and pest problems (with an open violation for mice infestation in apartment 42), multiple open violations in apartment 55 related to electrical, plumbing, and wall issues, and a notable cluster of complaints in April 2025 involving electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance issues. The building has undergone several inspections and faced various regulatory requirements, including Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections.
While most of the housing maintenance code violations issued in 2024 were marked as 'Closed' by April 2025, there remains an active violation for failure to file 2023 external low pressure inspection documents and failure to display energy efficiency information. The building's history also shows some concerning electrical safety issues, with violations between 2021-2022 regarding unsafe wiring in the basement and failure to secure electrical equipment. On a more positive note, recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 have generally passed, indicating improved pest control compliance, though there are still recurring issues with building maintenance and code compliance that may affect resident comfort and safety.
