90 West Houston Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

90 West Houston Street is a 10-unit, 4-story Old Law Tenement building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Winston Kulok. The property has experienced recurring pest and sanitation issues over the past several years, with particular attention needed on rodent and garbage management concerns. Most recently, in late 2023 and early 2024, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, for which no violations were issued.

Between 2018-2022, there were multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage problems, with some resulting in violations, and several rodent-related complaints and sightings were reported, including an ongoing complaint from 2022. The building has maintained a generally compliant status with respect to bedbug management, as evidenced by consecutive reports from 2021-2025 showing zero infested units. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and earlier in 2023 showed passing results, indicating improved conditions, though there was documented rat activity in 2022.

The property also has several open violations related to building code compliance from 2018, including requirements for posting various safety and building information signs in the public hall, which remain unresolved. During 2021-2022, the building underwent inspections related to illegal hotel rooms and gas utility issues, though access was denied to inspectors. While the building has shown progress in some areas, particularly bedbug management and recent rodent inspections, historical patterns of sanitation and pest control issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
