447 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

447 Hudson Street in the West Village is a historic 3-story property built in 1826, containing 4 units and currently owned by Julio Hernandez. The building has experienced several significant health and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is an active food poisoning complaint from January 2023 involving three or more cases, which remains in progress as of October 2023.

The property has a documented history of food establishment-related rodent and pest issues, with complaints in 2019, 2018, and most recently in 2024, though each of these cases was eventually addressed and closed. The building has consistently faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though recent filings for 2024 show no reported infestations. The property has undergone various inspections, including a rodent inspection in July 2024 that passed, but there was a rat activity report in July 2022.

A vaccine mandate non-compliance complaint was filed in November 2021 regarding customer proof of vaccination checks. Most recently, a complaint about work without a permit in an occupied multiple dwelling from early 2025 was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. While the building has maintained a generally good track record in terms of passing routine inspections (with most recent rodent inspections showing compliance), the recurring nature of both pest-related issues and health complaints suggests ongoing challenges with proper building maintenance and public health compliance.
