424 East 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

424 East 14th Street is a 5-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Christopher Wang. The property has experienced significant and recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past three years, with multiple emergency complaints recorded in 2023 (March, February) and 2022 (October), suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The building has also faced various other maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (March 2023), a water leak (December 2022), and an indoor sewage incident (December 2022) that, while no violations were issued, indicates potential sanitation concerns. The building's violation history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, with open Class C violations as of 2023 related to a self-closing door issue at the first-story public hall and inadequate access to the heating system boiler room. Notably, violations were previously documented in 2021 involving rodent infestation and water leak issues in apartment 4D, along with mold problems that were eventually resolved.

The property underwent a boiler registration issue in 2021, resulting in a $625 penalty, though this appears to have been resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, suggesting successful pest control measures, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024). While there have been multiple heating system complaints, most recent inspections show some had been addressed, though access issues have been a recurring theme in both heating and general maintenance complaints.
