17 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
17 Mott Street is a 5-story, 15-unit residential tenement building in Chinatown, New York City, owned by David Leung and constructed in 1900. The property has experienced recurring food safety issues, with three food-related complaints lodged between 2019-2024, including two cases of food poisoning and concerns about temperature control in food preparation areas. The building has open housing maintenance violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though previous filings show no infestation problems between 2019-2024.
Electrical wiring complaints were filed in 2022 but were inspected and found to warrant no violations. Significant plumbing issues emerged in 2018, leading to stop work orders and permit revocations, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in 2025. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding rodent control, with consistent passing results in inspections from 2022-2025, except for one instance in February 2022 that indicated rat activity.
The property appears to have properly handled bedbug prevention measures in recent years, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units. The most recent health department inspections in 2024-2025 have focused on ensuring compliance with food safety regulations. While there have been multiple violations and service requests over the years, many have been resolved through inspections or administrative closures, with the most recent open violations primarily relating to bedbug reporting requirements rather than active infestations or urgent safety concerns.
