294 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

294 Elizabeth Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in NoHo, constructed in 1878 and currently owned by David Habif. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues, with multiple rat sightings reported between 2023 and 2024, leading to ongoing pest control measures. The building has undergone several housing maintenance inspections and violations, most notably regarding unauthorized construction work in 2024, including plumbing and electrical activities in Units 1 and 2 on the second floor, which resulted in Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $2,935.

Recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 indicate some infestation activity, with one infested unit reported in 2024, though it was noted that five units were successfully eradicated. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections throughout 2023-2024, with baiting applied consistently, particularly during and after reported infestations. The building's compliance history shows a mix of resolved violations and ongoing monitoring requirements.

In 2024, there were multiple compliance inspections related to unpermitted work, though inspections did not warrant any violations at the time. The property has maintained an active schedule of rodent monitoring, with inspections showing consistent attention to pest control, including both initial inspections and follow-up bait applications. Bedbug reporting records indicate improved management in recent years, with no infestations reported in the 2023-2025 reporting period, though the earlier 2024 infestation was notable. The building's 311 service requests and Department of Buildings complaints suggest active monitoring of both pest issues and construction compliance, with prompt follow-up inspections being conducted in response to reported concerns.
