340 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

As of July 2025, 340 East 4th Street is a 28-unit, 6-story Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Emmanuel Lugos. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in 2025, with several open complaints regarding plumbing (toilet issues), electrical systems (lighting and switches), and water leaks. Notably, there are ongoing concerns with electrical outlets showing up in both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, particularly related to non-GFCI outlets near sinks in multiple apartments (2B, 3E, 6C).

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges in recent years, including heating system complaints, water supply issues, and the presence of mold in apartment 5D. Multiple violations related to low-pressure boiler inspection filings are currently active, with penalties imposed for failure to file required annual reports. Recent inspections and complaints have revealed various maintenance needs across different apartments, including electrical, plumbing, and structural issues.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2023-2025) and there have been no reported bedbug infestations, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building systems. The property has experienced difficulties with HPD inspections in May 2025, where inspectors were unable to complete their evaluations for several complaints. Historical records indicate previous violations related to window repairs (apartment 6A), bathroom conditions (apartment 5B), and common area maintenance issues. The building's elevator service was inspected in March 2025 with no violations found, and a retaining wall safety inspection in July 2024 also showed no violations.
