133 West 3rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

133 West 3rd Street is a four-story, nine-unit residential building in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Shuhui Zeng. The building's recent history shows some concerning patterns, most notably a food poisoning incident reported in June 2025 (status pending) and a rodent sighting investigation in December 2020 that resulted in violations. While bedbug reports have shown no infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024), the building has experienced periodic challenges with rodent control, though recent inspections from 2023-2024 passed.

The property underwent several sidewalk shed-related issues between 2018-2021, resulting in multiple violations for pedestrian safety concerns, including one violation in 2021 for improper posting of permits and another for defective pedestrian protection that resulted in a $2,400 penalty. The building's record also shows some compliance struggles, including a failed rodent inspection in 2021 and a failed inspection in 2020. However, the most recent rodent inspections have passed.

Multiple permits for work have been issued between 2019 and 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts, including five permits issued in 2021 alone. Several older violations from 2018 related to construction debris and housekeeping issues resulted in penalties, but these appear to have been addressed. The Department of Buildings records show various violations throughout the years related to construction work, including failure to maintain proper pedestrian protection and work not conforming to approved documents, though most of these have been resolved.
