269 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The three-unit, three-story building at 269 West 4th Street in the West Village, owned by Rocio Sanz, has a long history dating back to 1828. The property has experienced consistent pest-related issues, with the most recent incident occurring in August 2023 involving unsanitary conditions and pests, though housing inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the situation.

It's noteworthy that while the building has reported these pest complaints, the property has maintained an impressive record of bedbug monitoring, with no documented infestations or eradications reported in any of the bedbug reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. An unsued unusual pattern has emerged in recent years with these erratic pest issues, as pest control has seemingly been inconsistent.

On a more positive note, 269 West 4th Street has consistently passed rodent inspections every year from 2016 through 2025, indicating good general building maintenance and management practices in this regard. The building's documented history shows that while pest issues have been a recurring theme, particularly with the 2023 complaint, the property has not experienced a documented bedbug infestation in over seven years, suggesting that pest control measures, when properly implemented, can be effective. However, the inability of housing inspectors to access the property during the recent pest complaint investigation raises some concerns about access and communication protocols.
