300 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The five-story, 20-unit apartment building at 300 East 4th Street in the East Village, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Kosha Diaz, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The property has maintained an active record-keeping status regarding bedbug management, with violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file the required annual bedbug reports, though subsequent filings from 2019 through 2024 show zero infested units during their respective reporting periods.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2025, with most recent inspections in June 2024 and June 2025 showing passed results, though there were periods of rat activity noted in July 2023 and July 2022 inspections, along with a failed inspection in June 2022 for "Other Reasons." The property's Department of Buildings records indicate three bedbug report violations in 2023 and 2024, though these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicating current infestations, as subsequent filings show no infested units. The building's history includes several Department of Buildings complaints from 2021, specifically related to "CSE: Sweep" categories, though inspections conducted in April and February 2021 found no violations at the time of inspection.

Between 2018 and 2020, multiple early warning permits were issued, suggesting proactive maintenance or improvement work being conducted at the property during that period. While the building has faced various pest management challenges, recent records from 2024 and 2025 indicate improved compliance with rodent control measures, and the consistent reporting of zero infested units in recent bedbug reports suggests effective pest management protocols are currently in place.
