86 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

86 Mulberry Street is a 5-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Andrew Leong. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most serious incident occurring in March 2020 when three residents required hospitalization due to carbon monoxide exposure from a domestic water boiler that was carbonized and causing dangerous spillage. This incident led to active Environmental Control Board violations and a $1,250 penalty.

The building has also faced consistent heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints in March 2020 regarding lack of service throughout the entire building. Recent inspections have shown improvements in some areas, with rodent inspections in 2022-2025 passing consistently, though there was documented rat activity in December 2019. The building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to present, showing no infestation or re-infestation cases.

However, there are ongoing concerns about building maintenance compliance, with several active violations as of 2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements and previous unpermitted work on the boiler system from 2018. The building's history includes multiple complaints in 2019 regarding structural stability concerns, though access was not granted for inspection in some cases. While there have been numerous violations cited over the years, many have been resolved or dismissed; however, there remain active violations regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions.
