110 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

110 Mulberry Street, a 5-story, 16-unit old law tenement building located in Little Italy and owned by Charles Kim, has experienced recurring pest and maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of pest problems throughout 2023-2025, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing violations for roach infestations in various locations, including apartment 12 on the 4th floor and public areas.

As of July 2025, there is one open pest-related complaint from January 2025. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including electrical issues and building security concerns, with violations related to self-closing doors and smoke detectors noted in apartments 13 and 16. The property has a documented history of illegal hotel room usage complaints from 2018-2025, with multiple inspection attempts resulting in either inability to gain access or a violation being served in 2019.

In September 2019, the building received several Environmental Control Board violations related to safety requirements for transient use, including issues with egress, sprinklers, and fire alarms, though these have since been resolved. The building's rodent inspection record shows generally passing results in recent years, with inspections in 2022-2025 indicating rodent activity was addressed through bait application and follow-up treatments, including a successful inspection in March 2025. While the property has reported no bedbug cases in the most recent filings (2023-2024), there appears to be an ongoing need for attention to general building maintenance and sanitation issues, as evidenced by the frequency and nature of complaint filings and HPD violations.
