104 Bedford Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

104 Bedford Street is a 5-story, 30-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1891 in the West Village, currently owned by William Favire. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over recent years, with multiple complaints received between 2022 and 2023, including several inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which consistently found no violations upon inspection. While rodent activity was documented in early 2023, subsequent rodent inspections throughout 2023 and into 2025 have passed.

The building faced a significant heat and hot water emergency in January 2022 affecting the entire building, though it was reportedly resolved quickly. In early 2023, a Housing Maintenance Code violation was issued regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings have shown no infestations through 2025. The building has undergone regular tenant safety inspections, with the most recent completed in September 2024 showing no violations.

An active Environmental Control Board violation from February 2023 remains regarding cracked stone window lintels and sills observed during inspection, for which a $500 penalty was imposed. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to rodent control measures, with multiple bait applications and compliance inspections throughout 2023. Historical data from 2019-2022 shows occasional violations and complaints, including a gas-related complaint in January 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access, though most issues appear to have been resolved or dismissed based on subsequent inspections. Recent bedbug reports from 2023-2025 consistently show zero infestations, and permit records from 2020-2021 indicate active maintenance work being performed.
