Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building at 273 Mott Street in Nolita, owned by Iris Stewart, has experienced several heating-related issues over the past five years, with three separate heat/hot water complaints filed in February 2022 alone, though HPD was unable to gain access to investigate some of these reports. The building has also faced some infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by a February 2022 inspection that resulted in violations regarding window frames in apartment 3R, along with safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in that unit, which were subsequently certified as corrected in March 2022. An earlier cluster of heating complaints was recorded in late 2018, suggesting recurring temperature maintenance problems.

Despite these issues, the building has maintained good standards in other areas that impact resident comfort and safety. Regular rodent inspections have been conducted annually from 2011 through 2024, with all inspections passing, indicating effective pest management. The property has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, as shown in multiple annual filings from 2018 through 2024. A food establishment complaint was logged with DOHMH in June 2021 regarding contamination, but this was administratively closed, suggesting it was addressed promptly. The building's age (built in 1910) and its recent history of heating complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, though the prompt resolution of violations and consistent pest control inspections suggest an active management approach to building maintenance.
