Augrented Insights Report for 168 West 4th Street

168 West 4th Street is a 6-story, 15-unit New Law Tenement building located in the West Village, built in 1903 and currently owned by Geminiano Sanz. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from January 2022 regarding damaged stair treads on the fire escape between the 5th and 6th floors, which poses a safety concern.

The building has documented irregularities with its Low Pressure Inspection filings, including active violations from 2023-2024, though there have been some violations related to building maintenance that were dismissed with penalties in previous years. Multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings in 2020 regarding illegal work and a failure to maintain the building, with at least one resulting in Oath violations. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2018 to 2025, with most recent inspections from 2022-2025 passing successfully, though there were some failures noted in 2018.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019-2024 showing zero affected units. There were also two Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints in 2018 related to food safety, though these were resolved. Recent permit activity includes several legitimate permits issued between 2019-2023, indicating ongoing maintenance and compliance with regulatory requirements. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, it appears to be currently addressing violations and maintaining compliance with health and safety inspections, particularly in recent years.
