641 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

641 Hudson Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the West Village, built in 1886 and currently owned by Felix Bernardo. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent complaint filed in March 2025, following a pattern of similar complaints in 2023, 2021, and earlier years, often resulting in HPD's inability to access units for inspection. Between October 2021 and April 2023, the building had multiple Emergency heat/hot water complaints, indicating persistent infrastructure challenges.

The building underwent inspections in 2023 that revealed several Code C violations related to self-closing doors and fire safety features, though these were later certified as corrected. As of the 2024-2025 reporting period, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, and recent rodent inspections (most recently in March 2025) indicated compliance with health standards, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in March 2023. The building's maintenance history indicates some attention to safety and regulatory compliance, with the Department of Buildings documenting routine inspections of boiler systems in 2021 and 2024 that found no violations at the time of inspection.

Multiple violations from a November 2021 inspection remain open, including requirements for proper signage regarding gas leak procedures and housing information guides. While there have been periodic complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage in 2021, HPD found no violations upon inspection. The property appears to be actively managed regarding pest control, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units over the past several years.
