83 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 6-story tenement building at 83 Elizabeth Street in Chinatown, owned by May Yee, has experienced recurring heating system issues, with three documented building-wide heat/hot water complaints in 2023 and another in 2018, all classified as emergencies. The building currently has several open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for multiple years between 2021 and 2024. Past violations include unsanitary conditions in 2018 regarding garbage/recycling storage, with specific violations noted in public hall areas.

While the building maintained generally good rodent inspection results between 2017 and 2024, there was one failed inspection in June 2023. The property has shown some maintenance progress, with a Department of Buildings permit issued in November 2020 for unspecified work (job number 140969968). Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed, suggesting improved pest management.

However, the persistent heat/hot water issues and open bedbug report violations indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance. The building's location in Chinatown and its age (built in 1900) are notable, though these factors are typical for the neighborhood and city as a whole. All reported violations and complaints have been addressed through the appropriate channels, with most being closed after resolution, except for the current bedbug report violations.
