143 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10012
143 West 4th Street, a 5-story, 15-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1890 in Greenwich Village, presents a mixed history of maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has experienced recurring pest-related problems, with the most recent complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests filed in April 2025 (though the HPD inspector was unable to gain access for inspection). Previous pest complaints from 2020-2021 also resulted in similar access issues.
The building has documented three significant water-related incidents between 2020-2021, including heavy flow water leak complaints, though no violations were issued following inspections. While the building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections since 2022, there was a record of rat activity in 2014 and an inspection failure for other reasons in 2013. The property has consistently filed its annual bedbug report as required, showing no reported infestations in the past three filing periods (2022-2024), with the most recent report from April 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.
The building has received notices of violation related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2024, though these appeared procedural rather than indicative of actual infestations. Regular inspections have shown generally passing results for rodent presence since 2014, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passing without issues. While the building's age and history suggest typical urban maintenance challenges, the most pressing historical concerns have been around water-related issues and pest management, with current documentation indicating improved conditions regarding bedbugs and rodent control, though recent pest complaints still warrant attention.
