39 West 67th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

39 West 67th Street is a 15-story, 40-unit Class A residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1907 and currently owned by Maureen Otoole. The building has a concerning history of open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a 2000 violation related to not maintaining current sprinkler test records in the cellar, and two structural defect violations from 1997 concerning corrosion of the metal cornice and unsupported parapet ledge at the west portion of the front exterior wall.

More recently, in 2020, there were violations related to elevator safety, including an expired reshackle tag, while in 2021, multiple construction safety compliance violations were issued against Nova Construction Service, including issues with suspended scaffolds, site safety plan conformity, and improper document maintenance, though these violations were subsequently resolved. The building has shown consistent maintenance of basic health and safety standards. It has passed regular rodent inspections from 2014 through 2025, and the bedbug reporting shows no infestations reported in the past eight reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.

The property has undergone several permitted renovation works, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2022 for various construction and plumbing work. The most recent bedbug and rodent inspection results indicate good pest control management, and the elevator summoning device issue from 2020 appears to have been properly addressed based on subsequent compliance documentation. While there are historical violations that warrant attention, many have been properly resolved or are related to outdated maintenance requirements rather than imminent safety concerns, particularly as evidenced by the building's strong record of passing recent inspections and maintaining pest-free status.
