48 7th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
This 20-story, 159-unit West Village building owned by John Usdan was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between March and April 2025, there was a recurring pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple tenants reporting issues before the systems were confirmed to have been restored.
More recently in June 2025, three separate complaints regarding a water leak, mold, and ceiling issues were reported but could not be inspected by HPD. The building has also generated several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints, including multiple instances of work without permits between 2023 and 2025, with one active violation from July 2024 related to unauthorized removal of partition walls and another regarding failure to submit required exterior wall inspection reports from April 2024. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2017, all of which have passed, and has shown a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024.
While the building experienced some safety-related issues in 2018 regarding missing required safety signage in common areas, these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of heating system issues in 2025, water-related problems in 2025, and various construction-related complaints, suggesting ongoing building system challenges. However, the property has consistently met rodent control requirements and maintained an active but largely resolved history of bedbug management.
