141 East 37th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

141 East 37th Street is a 4-story, 3-unit residential building in Murray Hill, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Rosalyn Baumrind. The building's recent inspection history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding pest management.

While the property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports between 2021-2024 showing no infestations, indicating effective management of this issue, the building has encountered recurrent rat activity as demonstrated by two recent inspections in March and April 2025, though these are classified as initial and compliance inspections respectively. This marks a significant deviation from the building's historical record, which showed consistent passing results in rodent inspections from 2010 through 2018, with the only other recorded rat activity being a 2025 inspection. The building has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including a 2018 violation for inadequate exterior lighting at the front entranceway, which was subsequently resolved, and a 2021 violation regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, which was also closed.

The property's rodent inspection results reveal a previously well-maintained standard, with consistent passing grades from 2010 to 2018, suggesting that while there have been recent pest management challenges, the building historically maintained good maintenance practices. The bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024 consistently shows zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating effective management of this particular issue compared to other recent pest challenges. The building has a relatively small number of recorded violations considering its age and size, though the recent rat activity in 2025 represents a notable shift in the building's maintenance profile.
