118 East 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

118 East 17th Street is a 7-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1902 in the Gramercy neighborhood, currently owned by Noah Osnos. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues over the years, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2023 and early 2024, though Department of Health inspections in both November 2023 and February 2024 found no violations.

A bait application was conducted in March 2024 following these recent complaints. The building's historical data from 2013 shows significant rodent activity, with multiple bait applications recorded between January and April of that year, including an initial inspection revealing rat activity in January 2013.

Interestingly, while there have been rodent complaints and inspections in recent years, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations. All annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting either effective management practices or the absence of bedbug issues altogether. The combined data indicates an ongoing effort to address rodent concerns, with patterns of both bait application and successful inspections passing through the years, particularly in recent months.
