459 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

459 Hudson Street, a 6-unit, 3-story building in the West Village, was constructed in 1829 and is currently owned by Rick Pascarella. The building has consistently demonstrated challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in both 2023 and 2024 for failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. Additionally, there are two active violations related to equipment inspections: one from 2019 for failure to file the annual boiler inspection report, and a more recent violation from 2023 concerning the 2019 external low-pressure inspection.

The Department of Buildings also had an attempted compliance inspection under Local Law 188/17 in January 2024, which resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access after two final attempts. Despite these compliance issues, the building has maintained relatively good conditions in other areas. Recent rodent inspections show consistent passing results, with the most recent inspection in July 2024 confirming no rodent issues.

The building had one instance of rat activity in June 2021, but all other rodent inspections since 2016 have resulted in passing grades. A plumbing permit was successfully issued in April 2022 under job number 100140688. While there have been multiple violations and compliance issues, the building has shown some improvement with the resolution of certain past violations, such as the dismissal of a DOB violation from 2023 related to the 2019 external low-pressure inspection.
