Augrented Insights Report for 59 Mott Street

59 Mott Street is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Kenneth Chan. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three such complaints recorded in 2025 alone (May, June, and most recently June 11), though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced several electrical problems, including a no-lighting complaint in January 2025 where access was again not granted for inspection.

A ventilation-related indoor air quality issue was reported in September 2024. Recent complaints in July 2024 suggest unauthorized construction work and plumbing modifications, with one inspection resulting in an "Oath Violation Served" disposition. Notably, the property has multiple open bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2024, though recent filings (2023-2025) indicate no infested units, suggesting this issue may have been resolved.

The Department of Buildings records reveal several concerning patterns, including multiple violations related to illegal occupancy and use of the cellar level as a massage parlor, though these are listed as "Resolved." Structural maintenance issues have been documented, including damaged stucco on the roof parapet wall (2021 violation) and various unsanitary conditions regarding garbage/recycling storage (2019). The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with most recent results showing compliance passes, though there were some failed inspections in 2022 and 2024. The property has a documented history of boiler-related violations with varying outcomes between 2018-2024, and multiple violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though these seem to have been addressed in recent filings indicating no infestation cases. While many past violations have been resolved or dismissed, the frequency of heating issues and access-related inspection failures in 2025, along with open violations from 2021-2024, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
