219 Grand Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

219 Grand Street is a 5-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Chinatown, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by 219 Grand Property LLC. The building has experienced several notable events over recent years, with particular attention required for its heating and plumbing systems. In November 2019, there was a heat and hot water emergency that was reportedly resolved shortly after tenant notification.

The building has had recurring issues with filing annual bedbug reports, receiving violations in 2021, 2023, and 2024 for non-compliance, though subsequent filings show zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. The elevator system has also required attention, with violations issued in 2020 and 2021 that were ultimately resolved. The property has maintained a generally positive record in terms of pest management, achieving "Passed" results in multiple rodent inspections from 2016 through 2024.

While there were two mobile food vendor complaints in 2021 that were closed with Health Department responses, these were not directly related to the building itself. Two tenant safety inspections in 2021 found no violations warranting further action. A plumbing-related stop-work order was issued and subsequently rescinded in March 2019, with specific concerns regarding a revoked master plumber's license, though this was addressed promptly. It's worth noting that all current housing maintenance code violations, including the bedbug report requirement, are listed as "Closed," indicating that the building management has addressed previous issues, though there is a recurring pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
