236 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

236 Elizabeth Street is a 5-story, 7-unit Old Law tenement building located in Nolita, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by 236 Elizabeth St. LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent happening in April 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions and pests, which was resolved through occupant correction.

There have been recurring heat and hot water complaints, including an emergency situation in February 2022 that was quickly resolved. The property has faced infrastructural challenges, as evidenced by two Environmental Control Board violations issued in February 2023 related to disrepair of the cornice at the roof level and inadequately supported window AC units, though both violations were subsequently resolved. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing both passed results and some initial reports of rat activity, including a January 2025 inspection that noted rat activity followed by a passed inspection in February 2025.

The building's maintenance record includes consistent efforts to address various issues, with multiple permits issued for work at the property between 2019 and 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2025 indicating zero infested units or eradication efforts required. The property's lighting infrastructure received attention in 2018, when violations were issued regarding inadequate lighting in the rear yard and front entranceway, though these issues have since been resolved. Regular inspections and prompt responses to complaints suggest active management of the property's maintenance needs, with particular attention paid to both pest control and building infrastructure over the past few years.
