42 King Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 42 King Street building in SoHo is a three-story, four-unit residential property built in 1840 and currently owned by 42 King Street Inc. The building's maintenance and inspection records from 2017 through 2025 reveal a generally well-maintained property, with consistent passing results in annual rodent inspections conducted between 2017 and 2025, and no recorded instances of bedbug infestations or eradications in the past four years (2021-2025).

However, the property has experienced some recurring administrative issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance. Between 2021 and 2024, the building received four separate violations (in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules, though it is worth noting that the actual bedbug reports filed for the corresponding periods (2023, 2022, and 2021) showed zero infested units and no eradications.

The building's recent inspection history includes two tenant safety inspections in 2025 (one resulting in an Oath violation served), and two access-related issues noted in 2021 regarding construction enforcement and permit inspections. A Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection in 2022 also noted "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." While these access issues and administrative violations are notable, they do not appear to directly impact the building's habitability or safety, especially considering the consistent passing results in rodent inspections and the absence of recorded infestations in recent years.
