214 Canal Street, Manhattan, NY 10013
214 Canal Street is a 7-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chinatown, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Wo Hing Realty Corp. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an unresolved electrical lighting problem reported in January 2025. In August 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and water leaks, though HPD was unable to access the premises for inspection in these instances.
The property has open violations from an August 2024 inspection requiring removal of encumbrances obstructing fire escapes and a violation regarding garbage bins in the public hall. Notably, there are multiple active ECB violations related to facade maintenance, including failure to submit required critical examination reports and issues with the building's exterior wall condition, with penalties totaling over $25,000. The building has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance from 2021-2024, consistently showing zero infested units during each reporting period.
Recent rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with a failure noted in June 2025 and prior failures in June 2023 and May 2023, though subsequent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades. The property also had a food poisoning incident in March 2023, which was determined to be isolated by public health authorities. While some violations from previous years have been resolved, including a 2024 violation regarding the vestibule door self-closing mechanism, the building continues to face challenges with timely maintenance response and compliance with safety regulations, particularly regarding facade maintenance and inspection requirements.
