Augrented Insights Report for 234 West 4th Street

234 West 4th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Tzvi Wertenteil. The West Village property has experienced recurring pest control challenges, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) service requests between 2022 and 2024 reporting issues related to "Rodents/Insects/Garbage" in food establishments.

While these complaints were generally marked as "addressed" upon administrative closure, they suggest persistent sanitation concerns. The building's maintenance history includes several significant incidents between 2018 and 2024. A 2018 Housing Maintenance Code violation noted inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, and multiple Department of Buildings complaints indicated serious safety concerns, including blocked egress (2020) and failure to maintain building systems (2019).

The property has also faced environmental violations related to an outdoor dining structure (2020) and building maintenance issues including problems with the restaurant's chimney (2019), though these were resolved with imposed penalties. Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in any dwelling units since at least 2018, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. However, the pattern of food establishment-related complaints and egress-related violations raises continued concerns about building safety and resident experience.
