239 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

This three-story two-family house, located at 239 West 4th Street in the West Village, was built in 1839 and is currently owned by Pavel Krivchikov. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly regarding heating systems.

There were two heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 and February 2025, one affecting the entire building and the other specific to an apartment, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in the most recent complaint. The building has also undergone multiple safety inspections over the past two years, all of which found no violations, including tenant safety inspections in early 2024 and rodent inspections demonstrating consistent compliance with passed results. The property has active ECB violations from 2019 related to the fire escape and building maintenance issues, with penalties totaling $12,500.

These include violations for a broken fire escape step and failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, as well as a violation for failure to comply with commissioner's orders regarding certificate of correction filings. The building underwent extensive renovation work in 2018-2020, as evidenced by multiple work permits, and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations across all reporting periods since 2020, with proper eradication protocols followed when necessary. The building's most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 passed without issue, continuing a pattern of generally good pest control compliance, though a "Rat Activity" finding was recorded in January 2022.
