15 West 64th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

15 West 64th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Silvia Bravo. The property has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitation issues in recent years, with particular concerns regarding rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints in 2025 alone, including rat sightings in April and June. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with garbage/recycling storage, plumbing issues, and water leaks, with several complaints filed between 2023 and 2025.

Notably, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2020 related to the building's facade and basement conditions, including issues with masonry, fire retardant materials, and concrete floors that remain unresolved as of 2025. The building has an extensive history of maintenance code violations, particularly concerning the exterior facade, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations issued in 2020-2021 regarding deteriorating masonry, missing mortar, and other structural issues. Although the building has filed annual bedbug reports since 2019 indicating zero infested units each year, recent sanitation concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has passed several rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2025, though recent failures in early 2025 indicate ongoing pest control challenges. The heating and hot water systems have been the subject of multiple complaints, including a building-wide issue in February 2023. Despite these challenges, recent inspections have shown some improvements, such as the most recent rodent inspection in June 2025 passing, though there remain concerns about the building's overall maintenance and sanitation conditions based on the frequency and nature of service requests.
