45 University Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

45 University Place is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by James Cho. The property has undergone several significant inspections and reporting requirements over the past decade, with particular attention to pest management and safety compliance. Notably, the building has maintained an excellent record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all five annual reports from 2021-2023 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

Additionally, the building has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2011 and 2024, demonstrating consistent maintenance of hygiene standards. The building's violation and complaint history provides some concerning points of note. In 2023, there was one Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the filing of an annual bedbug report, and in 2025, a complaint was made regarding work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling, which was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs.

A previous complaint from 2019 concerning an illegal or improper vent/exhaust system was investigated but resulted in no warranted violations. A public health incident was recorded in December 2022 involving food poisoning, which was referred to the New York State Agriculture and Markets for investigation. While these issues have been addressed through various regulatory channels, they represent the only significant incidents on record for this otherwise well-maintained building.
