48 Charles Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The three-story, four-unit building at 48 Charles Street in the West Village, dating back to 1840, has experienced recurring issues with its bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC.

However, the building's bedbug reports for the periods ending October 31, 2022, and October 31, 2023, indicated zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting that while there were compliance issues, the actual infestation problem appears to have been effectively managed. In terms of building maintenance and safety, there was a notable violation in June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in July 2023.

The building has maintained good standing in terms of rodent control, with all recent inspections (2022-2024) passing, except for one failed inspection in January 2022 for "Other Reasons." Historically, the building has shown consistent compliance with various health and safety standards, with the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 passing as well. All documented violations have been addressed and closed, though the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing administrative challenges in this area.
