243 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

243 Elizabeth Street is a 5-story, 7-unit New Law tenement building located in Nolita, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kok Choy Chan. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most significantly a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in October 2022 that led to an HPD inspection, though the department was unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

More concerning, there are multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with these violations persisting from 2021 through 2024. The building also had a period of rodent issues in 2021, with rat activity documented in both July and November of that year, though subsequent inspections through 2023-2025 show passed inspections with no rodent activity reported.

In the summer of 2023, the Department of Buildings issued multiple violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018-2021, though these were subsequently dismissed by July 2023. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of non-compliance with various housing regulations, including the bedbug reporting requirement which has remained unresolved for multiple years. While recent inspections have shown improvements in pest control and the dismissal of certain violations, the persistent nature of some violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges within the building's management.
