236 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

236 Mulberry Street is a 5-story, 18-unit residential tenement building located in Nolita, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Nader Ohebshalom. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns about water-related problems. Most notably, there was a significant water leak reported in early 2023, and multiple heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in late 2022 and early 2021.

The property has also shown some infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues in October 2022 and a malfunctioning bell/buzzer/intercom system in early 2021. While there were no violations issued following the 2022 plumbing complaint, access for inspection was not granted during this incident, and a similar situation occurred in the 2021 bell/intercom complaint. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with recent reports showing activity in six units (2023-2024), one unit (2024-2025), and three units (2021-2022), though all affected units were successfully treated and eradicated. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were found in 2018 related to required postings in the public hall, including emergency procedures, contact information, and building registration details, though these appear to have been addressed as they were subsequently closed.

The building's exhaust/ventilation system has been subject to scrutiny, with a complaint filed in 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Notably, recent rodent inspections have resulted in passing grades for five consecutive years from 2019-2025, with only two initial failures in 2018 indicating some previous rodent control challenges. The property's maintenance record shows a mixed picture, with some recurring issues affecting basic services like heat and water, while also demonstrating the ability to address most problems when they are reported. The building appears to maintain regular inspections and reporting requirements, as evidenced by the most recent rodent inspection results.
