14 Christopher Street, Manhattan, NY 10014
14 Christopher Street is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1897 in the West Village, currently owned by Aster Johnson. The building has faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges over the past five years, with particular concerns regarding unauthorized construction and outdoor dining structures. Notably, there are active violations from 2020 regarding unpermitted wooden extensions for outdoor dining that obstruct the public right of way and impede access to fire escapes, with associated penalties totaling $3,750.
The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple complaints about food establishment conditions and garbage concerns in 2024-2025, though recent inspections in 2025 have passed. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug monitoring, with zero reported infestations from 2022 to 2025, and completed annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code. The property has a documented history of multiple complaints about construction work without proper permits between 2020 and 2022, including an August 2021 inspection related to a locked egress condition that was ultimately found to have no violations at the time.
Between 2020 and 2022, there were several incidents of rat activity, but recent inspections from 2023 to 2025 have consistently passed. Of particular note is a 2022 housing maintenance code violation concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved based on subsequent filings. The building's environmental control board records from 2018-2022 show various violations related to unauthorized work and signage, with some violations successfully resolved. While the building has demonstrated improvements in recent years, particularly in rodent control and bedbug reporting compliance, the history suggests ongoing challenges with unauthorized modifications and outdoor dining management that have impacted safety and resident quality of life.
