200 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 7-story, 26-unit old law tenement building at 200 Mott Street in Nolita, owned by Ramiel Benyehuda, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. As of June 2025, there are multiple open HPD complaints, including concerns about water supply, flooring, appliance issues (specifically a refrigerator), various paint/plaster problems affecting walls and ceilings, window frame issues, and a carbon monoxide detector concern. Additionally, there are reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests from June 2025.

The building has a history of electrical and structural maintenance challenges, with closed violations in 2024 indicating problems such as exposed electrical wires in public areas and damaged ceilings and walls requiring repairs with fire-retardant materials. Earlier this year, there were two boiler-related complaints in February 2025, though access issues prevented resolution. The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, particularly in rodent control, with passed inspections in early 2025 after previous failures noted in 2019.

Importantly, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the building from 2019 through 2025. The property has undergone several permitted renovations between 2019 and 2020, including electrical and plumbing work. While the building has experienced various code violations over recent years, most have been resolved through proper certification, though recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with timely repairs and resident safety systems. The most recent concerning patterns involve multiple simultaneous open complaints as of June 2025, particularly focusing on basic infrastructure and safety systems.
