235 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 235 East 4th Street building is a 6-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1920, currently owned by Henry Moses. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed for entire building service failures, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification.

There have also been recent pest-related concerns, with a June 2025 unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests that was closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's maintenance history includes several serious violations, most notably from 2019 when illegal transient use was documented in apartment 4B, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to code compliance and safety requirements, though these were eventually resolved with penalties totaling $4,687. Recent maintenance issues cluster around two main areas: water damage and pest control.

Inspections in late 2023 revealed mold and water leak issues in October that were addressed, and there have been multiple rodent inspections throughout 2024-2025, with varying results from rat activity to passing inspections. The building has active open violations from 2023 related to apartment 4A's kitchen needing repair of water leak sources, plaster surfaces, and wood frame, as well as multiple open violations from 2022-2023 regarding building entrance issues and fire escape concerns. Bedbug reports for the past three filing periods (2019-2025) indicate no infestations were reported during the designated monitoring periods.
