551 Hudson Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The 6-story, 20-unit property at 551 Hudson Street in the West Village, owned by Pavel Krivchikov, has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years that may impact resident quality of life. Most notably, there has been a pattern of food establishment-related complaints throughout 2024-2025, with multiple reports of rodent issues and garbage concerns filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The building has also experienced two significant heat/hot water complaints in 2024, one involving the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 revealed concerns with self-closing doors and privacy locks, particularly affecting fire escape access in multiple apartments (4, 10, and 12), though these violations are now marked as closed. The property has undergone several inspections related to rodent activity, with most recent compliance inspections showing passing results, though initial inspections in 2023-2024 noted rodent presence. A significant Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 involved unsafe storage of propane tanks, resulting in a $6,250 penalty, which has since been resolved. The building's management has maintained a positive record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years (2019-2024).

Recent permit activity shows multiple engineering work permits issued between 2018-2019, though the specific nature of these permitted works is not detailed in the provided data. The property has faced multiple gas-related complaints and safety concerns over the years, with various inspections noting issues with cooking gas systems, though most were resolved through compliance inspections. The building's waste management practices have been scrutinized, with multiple violations in 2023-2024 related to garbage storage, while recent rodent inspections show varying results between passed and initial reports of rat activity. The building's infrastructure and systems, including heat and hot water, have shown recurring issues as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges despite some issues being resolved through inspection and compliance processes.
