77 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
77 East 4th Street is a 6-story, 15-unit Old Law tenement building constructed in 1892 in the East Village, currently owned by Jared Welch. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years that may affect resident quality of life, with the most recent concerns centered around pest management and safety systems. In August 2024, a rat sighting was reported and resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections, with subsequent inspections in early 2025 showing improvements.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with the most recent reports in 2024-2025 showing no affected units. Significant historical maintenance issues include plumbing problems in mid-2022 affecting water supply, an entire-building heating/hot water failure in May 2022 (for which violations were issued), and various safety system deficiencies. These included non-functional smoke detectors (notably in Apartment 1A in 2022) and carbon monoxide detectors (notably in Apartments 1A and 3C).
The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections over the past three years, with mixed results showing both rat activity and successful passes. More recent inspections in 2025 have shown consistent passing results. The property also experienced some regulatory scrutiny, including a 2024 complaint about work without a permit, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs.
