131 East 39th Street, Manhattan, NY 10016

131 East 39th Street in Murray Hill is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Anthony West and classified as a Commercial Altered Class A property. The building has demonstrated consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with three consecutive annual reports submitted between 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 showing no instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

While there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded between 2021-2023 regarding the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, these issues appear to have been resolved as evidenced by the subsequent compliant filings. The property has maintained a good record in recent pest control inspections, with the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 passing successfully.

However, there was a notable cluster of rodent control activity in 2018, with four consecutive bait applications between January and April 2018, followed by additional bait treatments in June 2018, all of which suggest an initial rodent issue that was subsequently addressed. The building also received a Department of Buildings permit in November 2019 for work classified as EW under job number 140876853, which was properly issued and appears to be the only significant construction-related activity on record in recent years.
