502 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

502 Hudson Street is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Magdalena Kosz. The property has experienced several recurring issues over recent years, with the most significant being electrical problems, including two power outage complaints in August 2024 that resulted in HPD inspections being unable to gain access.

Other notable concerns include a rodent infestation in apartment 2J documented in July 2024, where violations were issued for missing smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and pest control issues. The building has also faced multiple utility-related complaints, including a heat/hot water problem in November 2022 that could not be inspected due to access issues. The Department of Buildings records show the building has active violations for failure to file internal/external high pressure inspections (2023), and there is an ongoing ECB violation regarding an unauthorized exterior dining structure along Hudson Street with a $1,250 penalty.

Periodic rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with reports of rat activity in 2023, though a recent inspection in April 2025 passed. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no reported infestations in the past three years. Historical records indicate various construction-related complaints between 2019-2022, including multiple partial stop work orders in February 2019 and a building stability concern in April 2022, though these issues appear to have been resolved.
