126 University Place, Manhattan, NY 10003

The 7-story, 5-unit residential building at 126 University Place, owned by Divya Rashad and constructed in 1950, has experienced several notable events in recent years that may impact resident quality of life. Between April and June 2024, there were ten health department complaints regarding food establishment issues, all related to rodents, insects, or garbage, suggesting potential sanitation challenges in or around the building.

Additionally, there appears to have been some construction activity or renovation work occurring during 2023-2024, with multiple complaints filed regarding work without proper permits, though inspections in October 2023 and April 2024 resulted in no violations being found at the time. One significant violation was issued in November 2023 regarding non-conformance with approved construction documents, resulting in a $6,250 penalty that remains active. Despite these concerns, the building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2020-2024).

Rodent inspections have generally shown compliance, with the most recent inspections in June and July 2024 passing successfully, though there were periods in 2018 when bait was applied for rodent control. Historical records also show some administrative issues, such as a failure to file the FISP Cycle 8C technical report in 2019, though this violation was dismissed. The building's condition appears to be regularly monitored, with multiple inspections and prompt responses to complaints, though the pattern of health department complaints in 2024 stands out as a notable cluster of reported issues.
