274 Grand Street, Manhattan, NY 10002

274 Grand Street is a 4-story, 2-unit mixed-use building built in 1920, currently owned by David Ng, located in Manhattan's Lower East Side neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant structural issues in recent years, most notably documented between 2022-2023 when multiple complaints were filed regarding building shaking, vibration, and structural stability concerns, leading to a period of structural monitoring and the placement of a vacate order that was eventually fully rescinded in March 2024.

An August 2022 inspection revealed serious issues with the interior and exterior load-bearing walls, including cracks, holes, leaning, and bulging, particularly on the second and fourth floors, with emergency repair work required. The building currently has active violations related to failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, and there was a violation in late 2022 for failing to comply with a Commissioner's order regarding structurally deficient conditions. The property has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past three years according to the required bedbug reporting, and consistent passing inspections for rodent control from 2022 through 2025, though there was one failed compliance inspection in 2020.

The building has undergone various permitted work, including plumbing and electrical modifications, with permits issued between 2018 and 2019. Historical concerns include a 2019 food poisoning complaint and a 2021 vaccine mandate non-compliance report, though these issues appear unrelated to the building's ongoing structural concerns. While many violations and complaints have been resolved or closed, the presence of multiple active violations as of 2023-2024 related to structural issues and inspection compliance suggests ongoing oversight requirements.
