207 East 14th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

207 East 14th Street is a 5-story, 17-unit residential building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Elmadani Sadek. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two complaints in 2023 (one affecting the entire building and one specific to an apartment) that required intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access to inspect the building-wide problem was denied.

The building has also faced multiple maintenance challenges, including electrical issues (2019), and a significant cluster of problems in apartment 3C identified during a November 2019 inspection, which included lighting, plaster, paint, and window-related violations, as well as unsanitary conditions including a pest infestation. Recent developments at the property have raised additional concerns, with the building undergoing inspections and receiving violations related to unauthorized commercial activities. In 2024, two significant violations were recorded regarding illegal occupancy and use of the first floor as a massage establishment (QQ Body Work), resulting in penalties totaling $7,375.

The building has maintained regular rodent inspections, with most recent inspections in 2025, 2024, and 2023 showing compliance, though there were previous rodent activity issues noted in 2021 and 2020. The property has also been found non-compliant with bedbug reporting requirements in previous years, though recent filings from 2024 and 2023 indicate no infestation occurred during the reporting periods. While multiple work permits were issued in 2019 for various maintenance and repair work, an active violation from 2020 remains regarding a section of missing stucco above a third-floor window, measuring approximately 5x15 inches.
