120 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
120 East 4th Street is a 4-story, 48-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's East Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Tara Dexter. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, including seven separate incidents related to heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint in May 2025 being closed due to lack of access for inspection.
The building has also faced persistent rodent problems, as evidenced by multiple rat activity inspections and bait applications from late 2023 through 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 show improvement, passing the rodent inspection in April 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant concerns, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 relating to door hardware issues (both rear and front entrance) and public hall maintenance requirements.
Three Class C violations were issued in 2024 regarding self-closing doors and latchsets, and there are two open bedbug reporting violations from 2023 and 2024 requiring annual reporting compliance. The property has also generated numerous Department of Buildings complaints and violations, including three active violations from 2023 for failing to file 2021 external low-pressure inspections, and multiple historical violations relating to failure to comply with previous commissioner orders and certification requirements. Recent maintenance records show some attention to basic building systems, with repairs and inspections being documented, though access issues for inspections have been a recurring theme in service requests.
