48 Canal Street, Manhattan, NY 10002
The 7-story, 7-unit tenement building at 48 Canal Street in Chinatown, dating back to 1910 and currently owned by Ron Ryer, has experienced several notable events and regulatory interactions over recent years. Most prominently, there are three open Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection complaints from September 2024, and the building currently has two active violations with the Department of Buildings related to failure to perform a Category 5 inspection and failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation from December 2021 and September 2020, respectively.
The elevator system has been a particular area of concern, with an active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from June 2020 regarding maintenance issues and missing documentation, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. The building's history shows consistent attention to pest control, with annual bedbug reporting requirements being met in recent filings from 2023 and 2024 indicating zero infested units.
Regular rodent inspections have been conducted between 2019 and 2025, all of which have passed successfully, suggesting effective pest management practices. Historical violations include construction-related issues from 2018 involving scaffolding and documentation problems, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained some level of compliance with most housing maintenance code requirements, though the most recent bedbug report filing in December 2024 showed no infestations, and previous reports between 2019-2023 consistently indicated zero affected units, with all reported cases being successfully eradicated.
