207 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The five-story, 8-unit tenement building at 207 East 4th Street, owned by Joshua Potash, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been problems with heating and hot water systems, including a March 2024 heat/hot water emergency complaint and an April 2024 violation related to hot water availability in apartment 2C.
The building has also faced sanitation challenges, including a documented mold issue in April 2019 and rodent infestations, with some rat activity noted during compliance inspections in 2021. Recent violations include a March 2024 citation for locked boiler room access and multiple unfiled bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, though bedbug-related filings in 2019 showed no infestation. The building's maintenance history reveals some safety concerns, including a June 2023 violation for electrical work without proper permits, involving the installation of 15 panel boxes with breakers and feeders.
Past violations from 2019 included issues with fire escape maintenance and obstruction, though these were subsequently resolved. While the building has passed all rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025, indicating improved pest control measures, recent rodent-related complaints and other maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and safety compliance. The property has been subject to regular inspections and violations under the NYC Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development, with most recent open violations focusing on bedbug reporting requirements and access to building systems.
