223 Grand Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

The 7-story, 23-unit building at 223 Grand Street in Chinatown, owned by David Zhang and constructed in 1920, has experienced several significant events over the past few years. Most notably, there were multiple issues with bedbug reporting compliance in 2021 and 2022, with the building receiving violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules.

The property was also cited for failing to submit a required Cycle 9A report of critical examination documenting the condition of exterior walls in December 2022, though this violation was later resolved with no penalty imposed. The building has had some maintenance and compliance challenges, including a door/window-related HPD complaint in mid-2021 that could not be inspected, and a Department of Buildings violation in 2021 for failing to file a FISP Cycle 9A technical report, which was ultimately deleted in May 2023.

While there was a work without permits complaint in September 2023, no violations were warranted upon inspection. Despite these issues, the property has maintained a clean record regarding pest management in recent years, with the 2024 bedbug report showing zero infested or re-infested units, and previous bedbug filings since 2021 consistently reporting no infestations. The building's most recent documented permits from 2019 appear to be properly issued, and historical rodent inspections conducted in 2010 and 2011 showed passing results, indicating generally good pest management practices when compared to earlier violations.
