Augrented Insights Report for 334 West 4th Street

The 5-story, 14-unit building at 334 West 4th Street in the West Village, owned by Mark Scharfman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is a recent wiring problem reported in March 2025 for which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to complete an inspection. The building has had recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints documented in December 2023 (apartment-specific), June 2022 (building-wide), and December 2019 (building-wide).

A cluster of safety concerns regarding fire escapes was documented in January 2022, with multiple complaints investigated though no violations were ultimately issued. The building's maintenance history shows both improvements and persistent challenges, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022 relating to building safety and maintenance, such as fire escape issues, roof leaks, and various hall maintenance concerns. Recent inspections and filings show some positive developments: the building has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), and underwent successful rodent inspections in 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018, all passing.

There have been two complaints about work without permits (November 2023 and December 2024), though no violations were found in the 2023 complaint, and the 2024 complaint was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs. The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2024-2025 show no units affected, indicating effective pest management. While certain maintenance issues persist, including some open violations from 2022 regarding roof repairs and fire safety systems, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with health and safety inspections, particularly in recent years.
