59 4th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 8-story, 14-unit building at 59 4th Avenue in the East Village, owned by Deirdre Mcglashan and constructed in 1900, has experienced several significant issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with food establishment violations, including recent cases of food contamination reported in 2025 and 2022, as well as multiple rodent/insect/garbage complaints, though these were ultimately closed after being addressed. The building faced heating system challenges in late 2021 and 2018 when tenants reported insufficient heat and hot water, though inspections confirmed restoration of services.
Two Class A violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements were issued in 2022 and 2023, with the most recent report (2024) showing no active infestations, while previous years noted eradication of multiple units. The property has undergone several important infrastructure and safety inspections, with a particular focus on elevator and facade maintenance. Between 2018-2024, the building received violations related to exterior maintenance, including issues with the facade and roof condition, though many were subsequently dismissed or resolved. Recent inspections from 2022-2025 show consistently passed rodent inspections, indicating improvements in pest control.
The building's Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 allege improper outdoor advertising installation, with penalties imposed. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing improved management of this common urban issue. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to heat/hot water systems were recorded, though all were closed after inspection. Recent permitting activity from 2019-2020 indicates ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure.
