227 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
227 Mott Street is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Nolita and owned by Clarence Lee. The building, constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring issues with essential services, most notably heat, hot water, and gas supply.
From January to February 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water throughout the building, with at least one violation issued for inadequate heat supply in apartment 7. The building has also faced safety compliance issues, including a 2018 violation for obstructed fire escape egress with flower pots on the 4th floor balcony. Multiple tenant safety inspections were conducted in April 2025, with results showing compliance, though there was a Stop Work Order related to plumbing work in 2018 that was subsequently rescinded.
The building has a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years, and recent rodent inspections from 2022-2025 have generally shown compliance with only one instance of rat activity noted in July 2021. Historical records from 2018 show several environmental control board violations related to fire safety and transient use, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $7,000. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, particularly heating and hot water, though recent inspections indicate improved compliance with safety regulations.
