33 5th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10003

33 5th Avenue is a 16-story, 60-unit residential building in Greenwich Village, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by William Wiley. The property has experienced several notable mechanical and safety-related incidents over the past several years. In 2019, there were multiple plumbing-related complaints regarding water supply issues that required Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections, though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building underwent a series of safety inspections between 2021 and 2023, including tenant safety inspections and tracking compliance checks, all of which resulted in no violations being found. During this period, the building also received multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) permits for plumbing and electrical work, with the most recent permit issued in April 2025. The property has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, with the most recent one in September 2024 passing without issues.

Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show no infestations or re-infestations in any dwelling units. In 2019, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to posting required safety notices in the common areas, including those regarding gas leak procedures and heating system access, but these were certified as resolved by June 2019. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, the consistent passing of rodent inspections and absence of bedbug infestations in recent years suggest effective management of common pest issues. The property has undergone multiple permitted work projects, indicating ongoing maintenance and infrastructure management, with the most recent activity focusing on plumbing systems as of 2025.
