20 Bethune Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

20 Bethune Street is a 5-story, 18-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Michael Vinocur. The building has undergone several maintenance and compliance events over recent years, with particular attention required for its bedbug reporting requirements.

While there were violations recorded in 2021 and 2022 for late bedbug report filings, the most recent filings through 2024 show no infestations or eradications reported, suggesting improved compliance with this requirement. The building faced more significant issues in 2018 when unauthorized gas piping installations and untested plumbing systems were identified in the cellar, resulting in Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $1,300, though records indicate these were resolved. Recent activity includes two building complaints in 2023-2024 regarding work without proper permits and after-hours construction, though these complaints were either closed with no violations warranted or referred to other departments.

The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with all inspections from 2011 through 2024 showing compliance. Multiple permits for various works have been issued between 2018 and 2020, including several for electrical and plumbing work, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's systems. The most recent bedbug report filings for 2024 clearly show a proactive approach to documentation, with no reported units affected, though there were previous violations noted for failure to timely file these reports in 2021-2022.
