57 East 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
57 East 4th Street is a 6-story, 17-unit residential building located in the East Village, constructed in 1900 and classified as an Old Law Tenement. The building is currently owned by David Powell and has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with seven documented complaints between 2018 and early 2025, including two emergencies in January 2025 that were promptly resolved.
Recent maintenance concerns are evident, with five new non-emergency complaints filed in June 2025 regarding water leaks, unsanitary conditions (including garbage/recycling storage and pests), ventilation systems, and flooring or stair issues, though these remain unresolved as of the latest review. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since at least 2019, with consistent reports showing zero infested units across multiple years, including the most recent 2025 filing period. Regular rodent inspections have also been conducted, with all ten inspections between 2020 and 2025 successfully passing.
The property has demonstrated some compliance issues in recent years, having received violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2024, though these were subsequently closed. The building's documented history shows a persistent pattern of heating system problems, particularly affecting tenant comfort during colder months, with both building-wide and individual unit incidents reported. While the absence of bedbugs and successful rodent inspections suggest proactive pest management, the recent concentration of maintenance requests in 2025 indicates potential emerging challenges in building upkeep and infrastructure systems.
