30 Horatio Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

30 Horatio Street is a 47-unit, 4-story residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Wilson Vasquez. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with three emergency complaints inMarch 2025 regarding the entire building's heating system. These complaints followed two similar complaints in February 2025 that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of rodent-related concerns, with three inspections in 2023 showing varying results: a failed inspection in October for "Other Reasons," followed by a passed inspection in March 2025. In 2024, there was a rodent condition investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that resulted in no violations, though a September 2023 inspection had found violations requiring follow-up. The building's documented history also includes some significant past violations and complaints. In 2020, a Housing Maintenance Code violation was noted regarding self-closing doors at apartment 3A, and there was a documented mold complaint that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2020 regarding the exterior brick facade and a false certification related to a job application, both of which were resolved. Good news for tenants is that the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs since 2020, with all annual filings showing zero infested or eradicated units. Regular rodent inspections have generally passed, though there have been instances requiring bait application, particularly in 2019. The most recent building-wide inspection for heat and hot water in March 2025 resulted in a response indicating the condition was corrected, though this followed multiple complaints about the same issue.
