634 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

634 Hudson Street is a 4-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building in the West Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Martin Blum. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with significant complaints filed in 2023, 2021 (multiple instances), and 2022, though most inspections found no violations, with some cases having repairs verified by HPD. Other maintenance concerns have included plumbing issues (most recently in 2023), a power outage in early 2022, and problems with paint/plaster and bathroom fixtures in late 2021, all of which were addressed within reasonable timeframes.

The building has maintained an exemplary bedbug-free record over multiple reporting periods from 2020 through 2024, and inspections show compliance with rodent control measures, though there was one incident of rat activity noted in March 2025. Recent building inspections in July 2023 identified two door-related violations on the first floor regarding self-closing mechanisms, though these were subsequently closed. The building has generally demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance issues, with most complaints being addressed within a reasonable timeframe.

Historical records show some earlier violations from 1991 related to plumbing and fire egress, as well as several administrative matters requiring attention in 2020-2021, including proper placement of inspection certificates and removal of an air conditioner from a fire escape window. A complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in January 2025 and referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. Regular rodent inspections have consistently passed, indicating effective pest management practices, and there have been no documented infestations of bedbugs in recent years. The most recent permit issuance on record was for exterior work in April 2019.
