43 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

43 Mott Street is a 6-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Ping Cheung and located in Chinatown. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly evident in 2022-2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide heat/hot water problems.

Plumbing problems have also been a persistent concern, with radiator issues documented in 2023 showing violations by HPD. More recently, in 2024, violations were issued regarding the need for repairs to a defective PTAC heating/cooling unit in Apartment 17, and two open violations remain concerning rust and paint conditions on the front fire escape (East Side) requiring attention. The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections since 2018, with all inspections passing, indicating effective pest control management.

Bedbug reports for the past three years (2023-2025) show no infestations, suggesting successful monitoring and prevention efforts. The property has had some construction-related issues, as shown by partial stop work orders in October 2018. While the building has faced multiple heating and plumbing challenges over the years, particularly in the most recent periods, it has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and regular passing scores on rodent inspections, though the presence of open violations related to the fire escape and air conditioning systems indicates ongoing maintenance needs.
