60 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

60 East 4th Street is a 22-unit, 6-story old law tenement building located in the East Village, built in 1891 and currently owned by David Powell. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2025, particularly in 2023 and early 2025, affecting the entire building or individual apartments.

Despite several emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), many of these complaints could not be fully investigated due to lack of access, though some were addressed when inspectors found no housing law violations. A window frame issue was reported in October 2024, which also underwent inspection. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status, with no reported infestations in the annual filings from 2020 through 2025, though there were two violations noted in 2022-2024 regarding annual bedbug report filings that have since been resolved.

Regular rodent inspections have generally passed, with the exception of one report of rat activity in July 2022, and subsequent inspections in 2023-2025 have shown compliance. The building's records show two permitted work applications in March 2019 for electrical and plumbing work under job number 123756685. While the heat and hot water issues represent the most significant ongoing concern, the building has maintained good records in terms of pest control and compliance with rodent inspections in recent years.
