248 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
The five-story Old Law Tenement building at 248 Elizabeth Street in Nolita, owned by 248 Elizabeth Partners LLC, has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent activity and maintenance violations. The property has shown consistent rodent activity, with recent inspections in 2025 confirming the presence of rats, and a laboratory result pending from August 2025. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including multiple heating system complaints, particularly a notable emergency heat/hot water issue in December 2024, and several door/window-related problems.
While a 2023 DOHMH inspection found violations requiring follow-up, subsequent HPD inspections for door/window and intercom issues found no housing law violations. The building's history reveals persistent maintenance and safety concerns, including electrical and construction-related violations. In 2021, multiple safety-related citations were issued, such as electrical work without permits, building egress issues, and improper tenant safety notice postings.
Two active violations remain from 2021 regarding electrical safety, specifically the absence of Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection and the use of inappropriate flexible cord wiring in stairway lighting. The property has maintained a zero record of bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) showing no affected units. While the building underwent some renovations and improvements evident from permit records issued in 2020-2021, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly rodent problems, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and pest control management.
