142 West Houston Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
142 West Houston Street, a 3-story tenement building in Greenwich Village owned by Winston Kulok, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding pest control. Most notably, between September 2024 and October 2024, there were five separate emergency complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, with three complaints being closed due to inability to complete inspections, and one leading to issued violations that required correction. A single infestation was reported in the bedbug report filed January 2025, though records from previous years (2019-2024) show only one infested dwelling unit being reported.
The building's elevator also had an active violation as of April 2019 regarding a missed Category 1 inspection that remains unresolved. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2010 and 2024, all of which have passed, indicating effective management of this particular issue. Housing Maintenance Code violations have been relatively minimal, with the most recent concern being a failure to file the annual bedbug report in March 2023.
While there have been two tenant safety inspections (2021 and 2022) and one COVID-19 Executive Order inspection (2020), none resulted in any violations. A food establishment complaint from December 2021 regarding bare hands in contact with food was also addressed. The building is subject to regular HPD inspections and has shown some difficulty in granting access for inspections, as evidenced by multiple closed complaints due to inspection access issues in 2024.
