647 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 647 Hudson Street in the West Village, owned by Susie Katz and constructed in 1840, has experienced several significant maintenance and pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been consistent documentation of bedbug reporting violations from 2021 through 2023, with the most recent reports (2024 and 2023 filings) showing zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting some improvement.

The building has faced recurring rodent issues in 2022-2023, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and evidence of bait application, though the most recent inspections in 2024-2025 indicate passing results. Historic records from 2019 show concerns about building stability, with two complaints regarding shaking/vibrating conditions, though no violations were warranted upon inspection.

A significant boiler-related incident occurred in May 2019, leading to an existing ECB violation for the boiler room's condition, including issues with fire rating, holes in the ceiling and walls, and inadequate ventilation. While this violation appears to have been addressed through normal compliance procedures, it represents a notable period of mechanical and safety concerns. The building has maintained regular annual inspections and reporting requirements since 2022, including completing rodent baiting programs and passing compliance checks, demonstrating ongoing management attention to maintenance requirements.
