118 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
118 East 4th Street is a 24-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in the East Village, owned by Tara Dexter and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced significant heating system issues in 2025, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. These complaints, which were marked as emergency issues, occurred between January and April 2025, with inspection attempts frequently failing due to lack of access to units.
The building is currently subject to two open Class C violations from a December 2024 inspection, including one concerning locked access to the building's heating system boiler room and another related to inadequate heat supply in apartment 19. Notably, there were also violations in December 2024 regarding the heating system in apartment 12, concerning missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and excessively high hot water temperatures at 145 degrees. The building's history shows a pattern of heating-related issues, with ten emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2025 alone.
Previous violations from December 2024 also indicated problems with self-closing doors leading to the rear yard in the public hall. The property has maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections between 2020 and 2025. While there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints in 2019 related to plumbing work and construction notifications, these were ultimately resolved, and the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in the past five years, with regular pest control compliance. A recent April 2025 rodent inspection passed, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of basic health and safety standards, though the heating system's persistent problems remain a significant concern for current residents.
