3 Horatio Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

3 Horatio Street is a four-story, six-unit residential building in New York City's West Village, constructed in 1848 and currently owned by Kwai & Wong Inc. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, most recently documented in November 2023 when HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. This building has multiple active violations related to failure to file required annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, as noted in Housing Maintenance Code Violations.

The property has faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly concerning its facade. Multiple violations recorded between 2021 and 2022 describe cracks observed between the second and third floors under the left side window sill, with penalties totaling over $7,500 across three separate violations. The Department of Buildings has documented failure to maintain timely corrections of these immediately hazardous violations.

While rodent issues were reported in various complaints between 2019 and 2020, the building has consistently passed all subsequent rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance. Additional recent complaints include work without a permit in December 2024 and a special operations compliance inspection in April 2025, both of which have been formally closed через appropriate channels. The building's management has demonstrated some responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by passing multiple rodent inspections and addressing various complaints, though persistent issues with bedbug report compliance and facade maintenance remain notable concerns.
