40 Grove Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

40 Grove Street is a 4-story, 19-unit converted Class A building located in Manhattan's West Village, currently owned by Ivan Disla. Built in 1852, the property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April 16 to May 12, 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Notably, there are four active housing maintenance code violations as of November 2024 in apartment 4C related to safety equipment (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors) and self-closing doors, as well as another set of violations from apartment 1A. The building's history includes significant concerns from 2018 regarding unauthorized construction and illegal conversions, particularly in the basement area, leading to multiple ECB violations and a partial vacate order. Recent inspections have shown mixed results, with rodent inspections passing in March 2025 and showing rat activity in April 2024.

The building's infrastructure has been under scrutiny, with multiple complaints about heating systems not functioning properly. Periodic bedbug reports from 2018-2024 indicate no infestations, while the building's permit history shows some maintenance work being permitted through proper channels, though there have been instances of work being conducted without the necessary permits based on past violations. The property has maintained regular compliance with rodent prevention requirements as demonstrated by consistently passing inspections, though there was one failure noted for "Other Reasons" in August 2021.
