21 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
21 Mott Street is a 5-story, 13-unit old law tenement building located in Chinatown, built in 1915 and currently owned by Jan Lee. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were regulatory compliance concerns regarding annual bedbug reporting between 2021 and 2024, though the most recent report from June 2024 indicated no infested or re-infested units.
The property has also faced multiple complaints regarding possible unauthorized work, with inspections in 2024 noting work without a permit, and previous violations related to illegal conversions and gas hook-up issues. These matters were primarily addressed through Oath violations and referrals to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent six inspections in 2023-2025 showing consistent compliance, though a rat activity report was noted in August 2022.
The Department of Buildings has documented several environmental control board violations, particularly in 2019-2021, including issues with building walls and air conditioning unit support on the fifth floor, and unauthorized sidewalk-level construction. While most of these violations have been resolved or paid, one from 2019 regarding unauthorized work with a penalty of $1,280 remains active as of the last available data. The property has also experienced various Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) concerns, including food establishment complaints and a report of an illegally sold turtle in 2024, though inspections found no violations in these cases.
