118 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
The six-story, 20-unit residential building at 118 Elizabeth Street in Little Italy, owned by Jingquan Li, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly concerning heating and hot water systems. Between 2023 and 2025, there have been multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent incidents occurring in April 2025 and December 2024. HPD repeatedly faced access issues during inspections, though some complaints were eventually resolved.
An open electrical complaint regarding lighting issues was filed in December 2024. The building has documented HMC violations, including improperly maintained self-closing doors in public areas and inadequate heating in Apartment 2B, as well as various maintenance issues in the public hall areas. The property has a troubling history of illegal alterations, with multiple DOB complaints between 2019 and 2022 investigating unauthorized conversions and improvements.
Active ECB violations remain concerning the building's exterior conditions and failure to comply with inspection requirements. However, the building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations from 2023 onwards, after a significant eradication effort was documented in 2021. Rodent inspections from 2011 to 2024 indicate regular compliance with pest control requirements, consistently passing inspections. Recent filings show the property is maintaining records properly, though there are still several open compliance issues with the DOB regarding prior violation certifications from 2020 and 2021, along with an active violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.
