125 West 15th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 125 West 15th Street in Chelsea, owned by Perry Lorenz and constructed in 1901, has experienced recurring administrative compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements over the past four years. Most recently, in April 2024, an open Class A violation was recorded for failure to file the annual bedbug report as mandated by NYC's Housing Maintenance Code, echoing similar violations from previous years including 2023, 2022, and 2021.

However, during the most recent bedbug reporting period from November 2021 to October 2022, the building reported zero infested units, suggesting proper management of actual infestations despite the documentation oversight. The building's rodent inspection records present a mixed picture of pest management.

In 2024, there were significant rodent activity issues early in the year, with "Rat Activity" recorded in both June and July, followed by bait application in September. A positive turn of events was noted in October 2024 when the building passed an initial rodent inspection, indicating some improvement in pest control efforts. Historical rodent inspections from 2019 through 2021 showed no significant issues, with multiple consecutive passes from 2017-2019, suggesting that while the building has faced recent challenges with both bedbugs and rodents, there have been periods of effective pest management in the past.
