61 West 62nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
The 61 West 62nd Street building, completed in 1981 and owned by Michael Roos, is a 276-unit, 26-story high-rise located in the Upper West Side neighborhood. The building has experienced persistent issues with sanitation and pest control in recent years, particularly in 2024, when there were multiple complaints about rodents and insects affecting both the building and adjacent food establishments. The Department of Health conducted several inspections in 2024-2025, focusing on food establishments, with findings related to garbage and pest issues.
The building faced significant violations in 2020 regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 4A, though these were eventually resolved. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2025 showing "Passed" results, indicating some improvement in pest control measures. The building's privatized public space has generated multiple complaints about non-compliance between 2018-2024, with the most recent violations in 2022 regarding hours of operation and access issues.
Three investigations into private space compliance were conducted in April-June 2024, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The most significant recent structural event occurred in 2020 when damage was observed in the cellar and sub-cellar levels due to a water main break, resulting in an active violation that remains unresolved as of now. Despite these challenges, the building has consistently maintained its bedbug prevention program, with reports from 2020-2024 showing no active infestations, and the most recent bedbug filings (2023-2024) reporting zero infested units.
