345 West 29th Street, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 4-story building at 345 West 29th Street in Chelsea, owned by Daniel Jacobson, is a 6-unit residential property built in 1847. The building has a notable history of pest management and compliance, particularly regarding bedbugs and rodent control.

While the property has consistently filed annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, all reports indicate zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective monitoring and treatment protocols. The building's recent rodent inspection history shows mixed results; although the most recent inspections in 2024 (October), 2022 (March), and 2021 (November) passed, there were multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application and compliance inspections between 2020 and 2021, with the earliest detection occurring in 2018 showing no significant rodent activity.

The property's 311 service request history shows one rat sighting in October 2021, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations found. This incident appears to be isolated, considering the subsequent successful rodent inspections. The building's age and conversion status as a former Class A property, combined with its proactive approach to pest management (regular bedbug reporting and prompt response to infestations), indicates a responsible ownership model prioritizing resident safety and comfort, despite the historical challenges with both rodent and bedbug management that have characterized the building over most of the past decade.
