229 Mulberry Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

229 Mulberry Street, a 7-story, 51-unit building constructed in 1999 and currently owned by Urim Kabashi, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. The property has faced recurring problems with water-related issues, including heavy water flow leading to violations in October 2023, multiple instances of mold (October 2023), and a history of plumbing problems. More recently, in March 2024, residents reported ceiling issues and pest problems, though no violations were found in these cases.

There was also an emergency heating and hot water complaint in October 2023 where access for inspection was not granted. The building has accumulated several violations that have required attention, particularly related to apartment 6C where multiple violations were issued regarding water leaks and ceiling repairs in 2023. There have been significant enforcement actions regarding building safety and maintenance, including multiple Environmental Control Board violations between 2021-2023 related to the maintenance of exterior walls, storage of combustible materials, and various code compliance issues.

Between 2019 and 2021, serious infrastructure concerns were evident, including problems with the boiler system, elevator service, and illegal conversions of space. The building's maintenance pattern shows a mix of prompt resolution and persistent issues, with recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing, though there were reports of rat activity in 2023. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five reporting periods.
