117 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
117 Mott Street is a 5-story, 11-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1915, currently owned by David Au. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past three years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in March 2024, the building received several C class violations related to maintenance issues, including excessive hot water temperatures in apartments 2B and 3C, as well as problems with self-closing doors on various floors.
A pest complaint was filed in August 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, and there have been several instances of inspectors being unable to access units for various complaints in 2022-2024. The building has maintained good rodent inspection results, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, and has consistently passed bedbug inspections with no recorded infestations since 2024. While there were violations issued in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections, these were subsequently dismissed. Other maintenance issues have included electrical wiring concerns, door problems, and window issues, with various complaints closed due to lack of access for inspection.
The building's heating and hot water systems have been a persistent source of tenant complaints, with multiple incidents reported, including a notable period of inadequate service documented through 311 calls and HPD complaints. Recent inspections have shown improved compliance with some safety requirements, as evidenced by the passing rodent inspections and the building's bedbug infestation report showing no affected units. However, the property continues to have open violations related to maintenance issues as of 2024, particularly concerning hot water temperature regulation and door safety. The building's history shows a pattern of complaints where authorities have been unable to gain access for inspection, which has been a recurring theme in several service requests.
