168 Avenue B, Manhattan, NY 10009
The 5-story, 7-unit tenement building at 168 Avenue B in the East Village, owned by Dora Shore and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, there is currently an active Environmental Control Board violation (as of February 2024) related to non-compliance with bathroom accessibility requirements for its restaurant with a capacity over 30 persons, for which a $500 penalty has been imposed.
The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with mixed results between 2022 and 2025, including both passed inspections and instances of rat activity reported in February and April 2024. The building's recent history shows recurring food establishment-related concerns, including a rodent/insects/garbage complaint in late 2024 that was closed by the NYC Health Department, and a food temperature issue from 2019 that was administratively closed after being addressed.
During October 2021, there were multiple complaints regarding vaccine mandate non-compliance, all of which were promptly addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While the building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations or eradications, there was a notable Housing Maintenance Code violation in 2019 regarding inadequate lighting at the front entrance, which was resolved by June of that year. The most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showed compliance, though a February 2025 inspection resulted in failure for "Other Reasons."
