61 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

61 Mott Street is a six-story, 17-unit New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood, owned by Tisha Leung and constructed in 1910. The building has experienced recurrent heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building reported between December 2021 and January 2022, though some of these complaints were duplicates or could not be verified during inspections.

The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including active violations for failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for 2018 through 2021, and a currently active ECB violation from November 2019 regarding an unregistered HB Smith Model #19HE/SW06 gas-fired steam boiler, which carries a penalty of $625. The building's history includes several safety and compliance inspections in 2021 that resulted in varying outcomes, including a construction enforcement work order in November 2021 and multiple tenant safety inspections in September 2021 that resulted in a fully rescinded stop work order.

More recent inspections in 2023 showed no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The Department of Buildings records indicate several permits were issued for work at the property in 2018 and 2020, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records provided. The building's regulatory history shows a pattern of heating system issues and boiler-related violations, while more recent complaints have been less frequent, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint dating back to 2022.
