131 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
The 5-story, 21-unit tenement building at 131 Mott Street in Little Italy, owned by Digna Chua and constructed in 1900, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the current electricity problem, with an open complaint from December 2024 regarding inadequate lighting. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting compliance, with reports filed from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units during each reporting period, though violations were noted in 2022-2023 for failure to file annual reports.
A significant rodent issue was documented in mid-2023, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait, though subsequent inspections in 2024 passed without issues. Recent maintenance history includes a 2023 violation for not filing an external low-pressure inspection, which was later dismissed. The building's inspection and violation history shows a pattern of routine issues requiring attention. While there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements, these appear to have been resolved in more recent filings.
The property has also undergone several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2024, with most results showing compliance or passing grades. A Department of Buildings complaint from 2022 regarding unauthorized work was investigated but found no violations at the time of inspection. The most recent buildings permit from 2019 was issued for unspecified work. The property shows a mixed record of maintaining compliance with housing regulations, with some recurring issues that have required ongoing attention, particularly regarding lighting and documentation requirements.
