202 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

202 Elizabeth Street, a 6-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building located in Nolita and owned by Martin Blum, has experienced several notable events over the past several years. The building's most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates one infestation case, though this unit was subsequently eradicated. The property has a documented history of bedbug occurrences, with three reported cases between 2020 and 2024, including one in 2021 and another in 2023, while remaining infestation-free during 2019-2020 and 2022-2023 periods.

In late 2019, multiple complaints were filed regarding window frames, heat/hot water issues, and unsanitary conditions including pests, with all cases closing by December 2019. Additionally, a December 2019 complaint regarding construction lead dust affecting an apartment remains in progress as of October 2023. The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent attention to pest control, with most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing without issues.

A single instance of rat activity was recorded in May 2023, which appears to be an exception in an otherwise clean record. The Department of Buildings conducted a Special Operations Compliance Inspection in October 2019, which resulted in no violations being found. Regular maintenance and compliance checks suggest ongoing attention to building standards, though the persistence of bedbug incidents and the unresolved lead dust complaint warrant attention to resident comfort and safety issues.
