547 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

547 Hudson Street is a 4-story, 3-unit old law tenement building located in the West Village, built in 1846 and currently owned by Michael Medovoy. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns centering around unauthorized construction work and regulatory violations. In 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding work without proper permits, including one that resulted in a $2,500 ECB violation for unauthorized electrical work on the fourth floor, though some complaints were eventually closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.

The building has also faced multiple active violations related to the failure to file annual pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, and an oath violation was served in early 2025 concerning the certificate of occupancy. Recent maintenance issues include a water leak complaint in August 2023 that could not be inspected due to lack of access, and a food poisoning incident in February 2023 that was deemed isolated by health authorities. The building underwent several rodent inspections between 2018 and 2024, with most passing except for notable rat activity documented in early 2022.

While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record between 2019 and 2024, all reports indicate zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. The property has faced various health and safety challenges, including a vaccine mandate non-compliance report in September 2021. The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple recent complaints about emergency egress issues in 2025, though these were investigated and found not to warrant violations. The building's compliance history reveals a pattern of both addressing and occasionally neglecting regulatory requirements, with recent years showing particular attention to rodent control measures and bedbug reporting compliance, while simultaneously accumulating several unmet inspection filing requirements for various systems and equipment.
