120 West 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
120 West 3rd Street is a historic 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1886 and currently owned by John Torkian. The property has experienced recurring maintenance and sanitation issues over the past two years, particularly with rodent activity and water management. Most recently, in May 2025, there was confirmed rat activity, following multiple bait application interventions earlier in the year.
The building experienced water-related problems, with heavy flow leak complaints recorded in late 2024 and early 2025. There have been multiple violations related to garbage and recycling storage, with inspections in October 2024 resulting in violations for improper receptacle maintenance. The building has faced persistent challenges with pest management, evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions.
Historical records from 2019-2021 indicate previous concerns about illegal conversions and transient use violations, particularly regarding Apartment 7. There were also significant safety concerns in 2021 when the gas-fired boiler was found to have high CO readings, leading to its cessation of use until corrected (currently showing an active ECB violation with a penalty). The property has maintained a zero infestation count for bedbugs in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), and recent inspections have shown regular rodent control efforts being implemented. Multiple violations related to garbage storage, recycling practices, and water management suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though many historical violations appear to have been resolved or dismissed.
