127 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
127 Mott Street is a 5-story, 18-unit old law tenement building located in Little Italy, built in 1880 and currently owned by Munlai Chang. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current problem being an unresolved lighting issue reported in December 2024. In 2024, the building faced multiple violations related to unit 2, including mold, water leaks, and plaster damage in the bathroom (totaling approximately 45 square feet), along with pest-related violations.
Earlier in 2024, there were several complaints about ceiling paint/plaster issues and water leaks, as well as an entire-building heating and hot water problem in November 2023. The building's history includes significant safety concerns regarding egress, with complaints in 2019 and 2021 about locked or blocked exits, though these were ultimately resolved. There are also active Environmental Control Board violations from 2020 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order related to exit passageways and other maintenance issues.
On a positive note, the building has passed recent rodent inspections, including the latest one in August 2024, and has maintained a clean record in its bedbug reporting, with no infestations reported in the past five years. The property has a history of timely responses to HPD complaints, though several violations remain open as of the latest inspections, particularly regarding water leaks, mold, and lighting issues. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly in unit 2, with multiple violations concentrated in early 2024 related to water leaks, ceiling damage, and pest problems.
