310 West 4th Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 5-story, 15-unit tenement building at 310 West 4th Street in the West Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Michael Dougherty, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the emergency complaints from December 2024 regarding plumbing problems (with both bathtubs/showers and sinks), a water leak, and electrical issues related to no lighting - all of which went unresolved after HPD inspections could not gain building access.

In 2021, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint that was reportedly resolved, and the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2019, with only one instance of rat activity noted in April 2023. The building has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding unauthorized modifications, with two significant ECB violations issued in 2022 concerning rear yard conditions - one for an obstructed fire escape (with a $1,250 penalty) and another for an illegally constructed structure with plumbing and electrical features (with a $2,500 penalty).

Multiple DOHMH food establishment complaints (2022-2024) suggest past issues with sanitation that appear to have been addressed, and the building has maintained compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing no infestation cases. The most recent inspection records indicate active management of pest control issues, with the property passing inspections in 2023 and 2024 following the one instance of rat activity in 2023.
