7 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
The five-story, 16-unit tenement building at 7 Elizabeth Street in Chinatown, owned by Carlotta Leung, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are multiple open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2021-2024, which could indicate potential pest management deficiencies.
The building also faces serious legal and safety concerns due to active Environmental Control Board violations from May 2024, totaling $20,000 in penalties, for illegal occupancy and operations of a commercial massage establishment on the first floor, operating in violation of zoning regulations and without proper licensing in a C6-1G district. Additionally, there are four active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to failure to file required external low pressure inspections, dating back to 2018-2020, and one from November 2019 regarding a missed boiler inspection for 2017. The building's maintenance history shows mixed results in pest control, with recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 generally passing, though there was some rat activity noted in April 2023 and a compliance failure in September 2020.
Previous complaints about adult establishment violations between 2020-2024 have been resolved, typically through Oath Violations served to the property ownership. There are also historical violations from 2022 regarding unauthorized construction work on the first floor, involving the erection of partition walls to create multiple rooms, though this was resolved with a penalty of $1,250. While the building maintains compliance in the majority of areas, the ongoing bedbug report violations, the current illegal occupancy issues, and the failure to complete required inspections present notable concerns regarding building management practices and regulatory compliance.
