309 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

309 West 4th Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in the West Village and owned by George Sartain. Built in 1836, this historically preserved building has undergone conversion to Class A status.

The property has maintained a consistent pattern of rodent inspection compliance over the past decade, with all inspections from 2016 through March 2025 passing successfully according to regulations, indicating effective pest management practices. However, of particular concern are the recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements; the building has received four consecutive violations between 2021 and 2024 (most recently in April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

While these violations are administrative in nature and do not necessarily indicate an active bedbug infestation, the persistence of these violations over multiple years suggests an ongoing challenge with compliance rather than indicating a bedbug outbreak. The building's age and historical status as a converted Class A property may contribute to the complexity of meeting certain modern regulatory requirements, though it is noteworthy that rodent inspections remain consistently passed throughout this period, demonstrating effective management of that particular maintenance aspect.
