334 Bowery, Manhattan, NY 10012

334 Bowery is an 8-story, 14-unit commercial building located in NoHo, built in 1909 and currently owned by William Fung. The building has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly in 2019, when three separate Environmental Control Board violations were issued, including problems with fire escape illumination, blocked egress, and various exterior maintenance issues affecting the roof parapet walls, water tower, and building facade.

While these violations were resolved, they indicate a history of building maintenance challenges. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, though there was one incident in 2018-2019 which was subsequently resolved. More recently, the building has faced rodent control challenges, particularly during 2023, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait application between June and September 2023, though a passed inspection in August 2024 suggests some improvement.

A health department intervention regarding a food establishment complaint in 2024 was resolved with standard procedures. The building's overall safety record shows some concerning historical violations and pest management issues, though recent bedbug reports show zero infestations for multiple reporting periods, and the most recent rodent inspection indicates compliance. The property has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspections, with zero reported infestations in the past four years being a positive indicator of recent management practices.
