32 Canal Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
32 Canal Street is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jinwu Liu and located in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood. The building's maintenance history shows several significant issues, with the most recent being an open electrical lighting complaint from December 2024.
The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, including a heavy water leak in January 2021 that resulted in violations, and multiple health and safety compliance issues identified in a comprehensive January 2021 inspection. These violations included problems with paint conditions, unsanitary sewage issues, and multiple safety requirement postings that needed to be addressed, such as smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. The building's recent history shows a relatively stable environment regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, and consistent passing rodent inspections (with only two failures noted in 2024 and 2025).
Health and safety compliance measures have been addressed over time, as evidenced by the certification of various violations in 2021, including repairs to peeling paint in apartment 3E and installation of required safety notices. The property has shown some responsiveness to issues, as many past violations have been closed, though the open electrical lighting complaint from late 2024 remains unresolved as of July 2025. The building's historical complaint data indicates attention to various COVID-19-related requirements in 2021, including reporting of face covering and vaccination mandate violations.
