241 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

241 Mulberry Street is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in the Nolita neighborhood, containing 24 units and owned by John Zaccaro. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints in December 2023 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, leading to violations related to inadequate hot water provision. More recently, in April 2025, there was a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which resulted in violations being found on the property.

The building has also faced several code violations and maintenance issues throughout 2023, including problems with ceiling paint/plaster and missing signage in August 2023, which resulted in the issuance of multiple violations. The Department of Buildings has active ECB violations from 2019 related to unauthorized exhaust fan installation and electrical work, with penalties totaling $7,500. Two more recent violations from 2023-2024 remain active regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections.

While the building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing either passed inspections or rat activity, the most recent inspection in June 2025 indicated ongoing rodent issues. Notably, the building has consistently remained bedbug-free according to the annual reporting requirements since 2022. The property is currently facing multiple open violations related to various safety and maintenance requirements, including the need for proper gas leak notification procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and smoke detector requirements, all of which were cited during an August 2023 inspection.
