307 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

307 East 4th Street is a 6-story, 20-unit residential tenement building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Robert Mezias. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaint in July 2024 regarding a door issue, which HPD found did not warrant any violations.

Notable maintenance problems from late 2023 involved plumbing and water leak issues, specifically related to a basin/sink and slow leak, though these were subsequently verified as corrected by HPD. The building has had recurring bedbug reporting violations, with notices of violation issued between 2021-2024 for failing to submit annual bedbug reports, though the most recent filing from January 2025 shows no current infestations or eradication issues. Importantly, there are two active Department of Buildings violations: one from 2019 regarding failure to file the FISP Cycle 8A Technical Report, and another from December 2022 related to the failure to submit the required Cycle 9A report of critical examination of exterior walls, which carries a penalty of $1,280.

However, recent rodent inspections (2021-2025) have consistently passed, indicating effective pest control measures. The building has also received prompt attention to various infrastructure issues, including a brief intercom system problem and water-related concerns, though these required multiple service requests to resolve. A sidewalk shed inspection in January 2025 found no violations, and a plumbing permit was issued in April 2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property.
