326 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The three-story, 10-unit building at 326 East 4th Street in the East Village, owned by Omar Sanchez, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in February 2025, there were plumbing complaints regarding water supply and bathtub/shower issues, which were investigated but found not to violate HPD housing laws. The building has faced several heating and hot water-related complaints, with emergency reports filed in November 2024 affecting the entire building, and in January 2024 for individual apartments.

Electrical issues were also reported in early 2024, including a significant lighting failure. Multiple plumbing-related complaints have been recorded, including issues with sinks and general water systems. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, with violations from 2021 regarding apartment B1's security, smoke detector, and carbon monoxide detector systems being certified as corrected in August 2023.

However, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 concerning the failure to file an external low-pressure inspection. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported between 2018 and 2025. Recent rodent inspections between 2023 and 2025 have shown persistent rat activity, though some inspections have resulted in "passed" statuses. The building has also experienced various other maintenance issues including problems with garbage storage (2022), appliance malfunctions (2022), and unsanitary conditions, though most investigations found no violations or were unable to gain access for inspection.
