357 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 3-unit, 4-story tenement building at 357 Avenue of the Americas in the West Village, owned by Georgi Tomov and built in 1910, has experienced several significant health and maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there have been recurring food safety concerns, including two documented cases of food poisoning in 2025 and 2023, with the latter being deemed an isolated incident by the Health Department. The building has faced ongoing challenges with compliance inspections and reporting requirements, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual reports.

While recent rodent inspections (2022-2025) have all passed, there was one instance of rat activity noted in July 2017. The property has a documented history of permit and work-related violations, including multiple Environmental Control Board citations in 2019 for unauthorized work and failure to comply with commissioner's orders, though these violations have since been resolved. A significant incident in 2018 involved work continuing contrary to a stop work order, resulting in a building violation.

Additional concerns were raised in 2020 regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage, though these were closed without inspection access. The building has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections over the years, with only one non-passing result in 2017, and most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing no significant issues. Despite these challenges, the building has shown improvement in maintaining sanitary conditions, as evidenced by recent passing rodent inspections and the closure of several food establishment complaints from 2022. However, the recurrence of food safety issues and compliance violations regarding bedbug reporting suggests ongoing management challenges that require attention.
