54 Avenue C, Manhattan, NY 10009
54 Avenue C is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by 303 East 4th Street LLC. The property has documented ongoing pest control challenges, particularly with rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple service requests and inspections from 2021 through 2025 showing consistent rat activity.
Most recently, significant rodent-related issues were reported in June 2025, with an open complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage. These concerns have prompted regular Department of Health inspections, with some finding violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, including unauthorized construction work in 2021-2022 that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations for work relating to unit 2B's renovation, though these violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties.
There were also inspections showing violations related to safety and compliance requirements in 2021, with some requiring follow-up inspections. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four years, with no reported occurrences from 2020-2024, the rodent situation has persisted. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in July 2025 passing but indicating a pattern of ongoing rodent-related issues that required multiple follow-up inspections.
