100 West 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

100 West 3rd Street, a 7-story, 23-unit residential building in Greenwich Village constructed in 1902, is currently experiencing significant heat and hot water supply challenges, with multiple tenant complaints filed throughout 2025. Between January and March 2025, there were at least nine documented complaints regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting the entire building, comprising both original and duplicate complaints. While some complaints were resolved through tenant verification of corrected conditions, several were closed without proper inspections due to access issues. The building has also been the subject of several serious safety concerns, including two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from March 2024 regarding defective self-closing fire doors on the 2nd and 3rd stories, and multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to facade maintenance and safety compliance between 2022 and 2024.

Recent inspections have revealed ongoing maintenance issues, including recurring problems with the building's facade and safety features. In 2024, there were multiple ECB violations related to safety compliance of scaffolding and guardrails, with penalties totaling $8,780. The building was subject to several complaints regarding construction work without proper permits in late 2024, though inspections did not find violations in some cases. Pest control records show regular rodent bait applications throughout 2023-2024, with some initial inspections passing, suggesting ongoing vermin management efforts.

Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations over the past seven years, with no units requiring treatment or showing signs of re-infestation. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring heat/hot water issues and safety violations, particularly regarding fire door compliance and facade maintenance. While some historical violations have been resolved, numerous active and recently closed violations indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and safety features. The current ownership under Jonathan Ohebshalom has shown responsiveness to some complaints, though access issues for inspections have been a recurring theme in HPD responses.
