172 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

172 West 4th Street is a 5-story, 7-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Michael Vinocur. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented complaints between 2023 and 2022, including a recent December 2023 complaint where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. Additionally, there have been several plumbing-related issues, including water supply problems and heavy flow water leak complaints in November 2022, all of which were resolved according to HPD records.

The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in July 2023 for unlicensed/illegal activity complaints but found no violations. The building maintains a strong record of pest control and sanitation, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last six years (2019-2024 filings), and it has passed all rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025. The property had one violation issued in 2019, which was dismissed in 2022 after showing that defects were corrected.

Two food establishment complaints from 2022 regarding rodents/insects/garbage and letter grading were addressed and administratively closed by the Department of Health. The building's permit records show a permit was issued in February 2020. While the property has had recurring heating issues, its overall maintenance record regarding pests and violations shows consistent compliance with regulations.
