164 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

164 Mulberry Street, a 5-story New Law Tenement building located in Little Italy and owned by Nicholas Criscitelli, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Currently, there is an open complaint filed with HPD in April 2025 regarding a malfunctioning intercom system, and as of June 2025, there are multiple active violations related to plumbing work that has been halted due to inactive licensing. The building has consistently demonstrated good rodent control, passing at least nine inspections between 2016 and 2024.

Significant historical compliance issues include three consecutive years (2021-2023) of failing to file annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filings indicate no infested units. In 2021, there were violations related to unauthorized construction work including an unauthorized wood frame structure that obstructed fire escape routes and modifications to the building's front facade, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has a documented history of food safety complaints, with two food poisoning incidents reported (2019 and 2022) though no specific outcomes were provided.

Previous building management issues included an emergency heat and hot water complaint in 2018, which was closed promptly. The building underwent multiple permit issuances in 2018 for various work types, including plumbing and electrical modifications, and received attention for unauthorized signs and storefront modifications in 2018-2019, resulting in several violations and fines. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance challenges, recent inspections and reporting (including bedbug and rodent control) suggest improved oversight and maintenance practices.
