465 Avenue Of The Amer, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 4-story, 6-unit building at 465 Avenue of the Americas in the West Village, owned by Herlien 72nd Street LLC, has been in operation since 1842 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple reports of inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, triggering emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During late 2022, violations were found related to a lack of hot water in apartments 2R and 2F, and self-closing door issues were noted in several locations including the main entrance and basement. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2021, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods (2022-2025). More recent concerns include regulatory matters, with multiple active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations as of 2023 related to the failure to file annual external low pressure inspections between 2019 and 2022, though these violations are currently listed as active with no penalties imposed.

In 2024, there were also complaints about unauthorized floodlights connected to electrical conduits and work being performed without proper permits. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, all of which passed successfully, indicating effective pest management. Recent food establishment inspections in 2024 noted violations regarding bare hands in contact with food, though these were limited to establishment-related issues and not building conditions.
