218 Grand Street, Manhattan, NY 10013

218 Grand Street is a 7-story, 28-unit old law tenement building located in Little Italy, built in 1900 and currently owned by Soo Wong. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most recently documented in December 2024 when HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported lack of service.

There are also ongoing structural concerns, with a "LL11 Unsafe – Initiated" status for façade issues as of March 2023, and a previously noted violation from 2020 regarding deteriorating façade conditions that resulted in a $1,280 penalty. The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections annually from 2012 through 2025, indicating effective pest management in this area. Notably, all bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 show zero infested units, suggesting successful pest control measures.

The property has undergone regular safety inspections, including multiple tenant safety and Local Law 188 compliance inspections in 2023, none of which resulted in violations. While there have been various 311 complaints filed, including food-related incidents in 2019, most recent inspections and complaints show either no violations warranting action or administrative closure. The building's violation history shows some administrative lapses, such as a failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report (later dismissed) and repeated notices regarding bedbug reporting compliance between 2021-2024, though current bedbug reports show compliance with zero reported infestations during the specified periods.
