91 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

91 Elizabeth Street, a 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1910, is a 27-unit residential building located in Chinatown, currently owned by John Lee. The building has demonstrated recent attention to maintenance concerns, with no recorded bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025), and an active rodent control program showing generally favorable inspection results.

The most significant cluster of issues occurred in late 2022, with multiple HPD inspections revealing violations related to smoke detectors and windows, though many other reported issues such as plumbing and flooring were found to have no violations. Apartment 25 experienced several maintenance challenges that were documented and addressed between late 2022 and early 2023, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, vinyl floor tiles, window mechanisms, plaster surfaces, and water leaks. The building has maintained regular compliance with rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in August 2024 passing successfully.

While there were some violations noted in 2023 regarding safety equipment (specifically smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), the building's management has demonstrated responsiveness by addressing these issues, as evidenced by certification of repairs in July 2023. The property has consistently filed its bedbug reports showing zero infestation claims since 2021, and while there was a notable instance of roach infestation in Apartment 25 in late 2022, this violation was also closed promptly. Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025 have primarily focused on administrative matters such as annual bedbug reporting requirements.
