130 East 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

130 East 37th Street is a 12-unit, 5-story residential building in Murray Hill owned by W. Alexander Budney and constructed in 1869. The property has experienced consistent regulatory scrutiny over the past few years, most notably with housing maintenance code violations in 2022 and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these violations are now marked as closed.

A significant incident occurred in mid-2022 when unpermitted electrical work was reported and subsequently confirmed in Apartment 1N, involving the installation of new electrical cables, boxes, switches, and lighting. This led to an Environmental Control Board violation, though with no penalties imposed and the stop work order being fully rescinded by February 2023. The building has demonstrated effective pest management over the years, as evidenced by eight consecutive annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

Additionally, the property has maintained a strong record in rodent inspections, with all eight inspections from 2010 through 2025 passing successfully. The most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 continued this trend of compliance, suggesting effective ongoing maintenance of the building's conditions. While the building's history shows some regulatory issues, particularly in 2022 and 2023, the overall record demonstrates competent management of both pest control and rodent prevention systems, with no recurring safety concerns noted in recent years.
