Augrented Insights Report for 50 Canal Street

The 6-story, 20-unit tenement building at 50 Canal Street in Chinatown, owned by King Lum Fong, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since late 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints throughout 2024-2025. The most recent complaints in March 2025 were unable to be investigated due to access issues, though earlier complaints did result in at least one violation for inadequate hot water in apartment 4D, confirmed in December 2024.

The building has maintained consistent rodent inspection compliance, passing all inspections from 2019 through 2025, and presents no current bedbug infestation concerns, with all eight annual bedbug reports from 2018-2025 showing zero infested units. The building has documented several safety and maintenance concerns beyond the heating issues, including multiple violations regarding non-self-closing doors at various times in 2023-2024, a 2020 open violation regarding rust and paint issues on fire escape components, and a 2024 violation for failure to file an external low pressure inspection.

While there were three violations issued related to doors in 2023-2024, all were eventually closed. The property has also had proper bedbug reporting compliance since its implementation, with no recorded infestations. The most recent building-related complaint, regarding work without a permit, was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs in November 2023.
