281 Mott Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
The five-story, eight-unit tenement building at 281 Mott Street in Nolita, built in 1910 and currently owned by Iris Stewart, has experienced a significant cluster of maintenance issues in 2025. The most pressing concerns include open complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), multiple appliance failures (refrigerator and electric/gas range), flooring problems, wall maintenance issues (paint/plaster), a non-functioning smoke detector, and window frame concerns.
These open complaints, initiated between January and May 2025, represent a pattern of ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention. The building has a documented history of violations and complaints that merit attention. A 2023 inspection revealed ventilation and heating problems in apartment 4F, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected.
While there were two emergency complaints in 2025 regarding mold and smoke detector issues, other inspections and complaints from previous years, including a 2023 egress complaint and a 2023 enforcement work order, were determined not to warrant violations. The property's overall pest management appears effective, with no documented bedbug infestations since 2019 and regular rodent inspections showing consistent passing results between 2011 and 2024. However, the recent cluster of open complaints in 2025 suggests emerging maintenance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
