228 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
228 Mott Street is a 7-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Alex Laszlo and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly notable in March 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding both heating and plumbing problems that required emergency response from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). While recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed no active violations related to rodent infestations, there was a rat sighting reported in August 2023, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations upon inspection.
The building underwent a significant inspection in May 2022 that revealed several maintenance issues needing attention, including problems with fire safety materials, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and general building maintenance compliance. Two active Environmental Control Board violations were issued in March 2022 regarding egress and fire escape maintenance issues, with associated penalties of $3,125 and $1,280 respectively. More recent maintenance concerns emerged in 2025 with reported mold and ventilation system issues, though these were categorized differently in the complaint system.
The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations since at least 2019, with zero reported cases in the most recent filings from 2023-2025. Regular rodent inspections from 2017 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management, despite the occasional sighting reports. The property's historical complaint record shows varying degrees of building system challenges, particularly related to water and heating infrastructure, with the most recent major complaints occurring in 2025 regarding ventilation system issues.
