147 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10012

This four-story converted Class A building at 147 West 4th Street in Greenwich Village, currently owned by Magdalena Kosz, has experienced several recurring issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns being heat/hot water and rodent problems. In late 2023, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints in December, with inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access to units was not granted in some cases.

Prior to this, there had been similar heat-related complaints in October 2023, suggesting an ongoing heating system issue. The building has also dealt with rodent problems, particularly in 2023, with multiple complaints filed between February and July 2023, including sightings and conditions attracting rodents. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) conducted inspections that revealed violations, and several bait application sessions were performed between July 2023 and September 2024.

The building's rodent situation appeared to improve significantly, as indicated by passing the September 2024 inspection. Additional historical data shows a boiler-related violation from April 2022, and while there were several Housing Maintenance Code complaints and inspections regarding heat/hot water issues during 2023-2024, these appear to have been addressed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025), and a recent building inspection from 2024-09-03 passed without any rat activity noted, indicating potential improvement in building conditions.
