133 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 6-story, 18-unit building at 133 Mulberry Street in Little Italy, built in 1920 and currently owned by Kosha Diaz, has experienced several significant issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy of the cellar as a night club, which was found to be occupied by about 100 people, despite it being designated as storage per the certificate of occupancy.

The building has had multiple safety-related complaints, including a 2024 egress issue (partially addressed with a vacate order being rescinded), construction violations, and electrical work done without proper permits. Between 2020 and 2023, there were several violations for failure to file required low-pressure inspection documentation, though these were ultimately dismissed by October 2024. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 and regular passing rodent inspections, though there was one failed inspection in 2018 for unspecified reasons.

Recent health department interactions include a food poisoning complaint filed in June 2025 that is currently under investigation, and a closed mobile food vendor equipment complaint from 2023-2025. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to compliance, as evidenced by multiple permit filings between 2019-2021, though there have been several instances of work being performed without proper permits, particularly regarding ventilation and electrical systems. While the building has experienced various operational and safety compliance issues over the years, it has maintained consistent reporting of pest management and completed several necessary repairs and improvements as indicated by the permit history.
