118 West 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

The 5-story, 16-unit residential building at 118 West 3rd Street, owned by Lewis Rosenthal and constructed in 1886, has experienced several notable events in recent years that impact resident experience. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a door-related violation involving a kick-down door stopper at the vestibule door that was inspected and certified corrected.

In early 2024, the building faced more significant structural concerns with a complaint about building shaking and decorative stone disrepair on the 3rd floor that resulted in an active ECB violation with a penalty of $3,125. The building has maintained an overall good record for pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years and consistent passing grades on rodent inspections dating back to at least 2010.

Other recent maintenance issues include a heat/hot water complaint in December 2022 that was resolved, and two food poisoning complaints from October 2021 that were determined to be isolated incidents. The property demonstrates a generally responsive management approach to maintenance issues, with most complaints being promptly addressed and closed, though the building shaking complaint from January 2024 and related environmental violation from that month represent the most concerning recent issues. The building's age and classification as an Old Law Tenement are important context, given the unique preservation and maintenance challenges associated with these historic properties in Greenwich Village.
