122 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 28-unit, 7-story residential building at 122 Elizabeth Street in Little Italy, owned by David Chow and constructed in 1988, has experienced several significant events over its history, particularly between 2018 and 2022. Most notably, in 2019 the building faced multiple violations related to illegal transient use of Apartment 2A, including missing required sprinkler and fire alarm systems, for which penalties totaling $4,000 were imposed but later resolved. During this period, a vacate order was allegedly removed from Apartment 1B, resulting in a $1,000 violation that was also resolved.

There were multiple Department of Buildings inspections regarding illegal hotel rooms in 2019-2020, with inspectors often unable to gain access. A housing maintenance complaint regarding unsanitary garbage storage was filed in 2021, though this was resolved by December 2022. The building's more recent history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with zero infestations reported in the last three years (2022-2025).

Regular rodent inspections between 2011 and 2024 have consistently passed, with only one initial failure in 2011 which has since been rectified. The building's most recent complaints include a 2022 issue regarding failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, though this was dismissed. A bedbug report from December 2024 indicates no units were affected during the 2023-2024 period. The property has maintained active compliance with necessary inspections and reporting requirements since the resolution of the 2019-2020 violations, with no recent complaints or violations that would significantly impact resident safety or comfort.
