322 East 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

322 East 14th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in the East Village, built in 1920 and currently owned by Ralph Westerhoff. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a food establishment letter grading inspection initiated in June 2025 that is currently in progress.

Previous health-related incidents have included documented rodent and insect problems, with the last significant complaint regarding pests recorded in January 2021, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection in this case. The building's environmental and safety compliance history shows some serious maintenance challenges, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2020 related to boiler safety issues with a $625 penalty, though these specific conditions are not recent. The property has maintained an impressive record of passing regular rodent inspections, with the most recent nine inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025 all resulting in "Passed" outcomes.

Additionally, the building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the last four reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices. While there have been multiple complaints recorded through the 311 system and housing maintenance code violations, many of these cases were either closed without resolution verification or occurred several years ago, such as the complaints about wall conditions and pest issues from 2021. The building's management has shown responsiveness to various health department notifications, though recent food establishment-related complaints indicate ongoing monitoring may be required in this area.
