1 Minetta Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The six-story, 24-unit New Law tenement building at 1 Minetta Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Tatiana Nizguretsky and constructed in 1926, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly related to pest control. Most notably, the building has experienced persistent rodent problems, with eight consecutive bait applications recorded between November 2024 and March 2025, and documented rat activity during two compliance inspections in late 2024. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has received multiple complaints regarding rodent and insect issues in the building's food establishment areas, with the most recent complaints filed in late 2023 and early 2024.

Housing Maintenance Code records from 2021 indicate a citation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though subsequent annual filings from 2022 through 2024 indicate no infestations, with all reporting showing zero infested, eradicated, and re-infested units. The building's complaint history includes various inspections for tenant safety in 2023, with one in June resulting in no violations, and another in April showing compliance. In December 2024, there was a complaint regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs.

The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2018, consistently showing zero infestations. While the building has experienced ongoing rodent challenges, the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years suggests effective management of that particular issue. The repeated application of rodent bait in early 2025 indicates ongoing efforts to address the current pest challenges, though the persistent nature of these problems suggests they remain a significant concern for residents.
