239 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

239 Mulberry Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Nolita, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Or 239 Mulberry Llc. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by three emergency heat/hot water complaints between January and June 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

More recently, in July 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 6, including problems with electrical lighting, paint/plaster (walls and ceiling), door issues, and appliance concerns, all of which received violations under the Housing Maintenance Code. The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, with various violations related to water leaks (notably in 2022 in Apartment 3), and the most recent violations from 2024 include issues with a defective smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, electrical light fixture, and paint/plaster surfaces in Apartment 6. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual filings from 2020 through 2024.

Additionally, recent rodent inspections show improvement, with the building passing inspections in 2023, 2024, and early 2025, though there were some compliance failures noted in 2022 and 2019. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic systems and infrastructure, particularly in terms of heat/hot water delivery and interior maintenance, with violations being consistently addressed though sometimes requiring multiple complaints to resolve. The most recent building inspection cycle in 2024 resulted in several violations being issued, though these were certified as corrected by August 2024.
