77 West 68th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
77 West 68th Street is an 1894, 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, currently owned by Deborah Kasner. The building has shown ongoing concerns with maintenance and safety across various inspection periods, particularly regarding its rodent situation, as evidenced by multiple bait applications and inspections throughout 2022 to 2025. Recent inspections in 2025 have passed, indicating some improvement.
A significant heat/hot water issue affecting the entire building was reported and resolved in December 2023, and there are currently two open housing maintenance code violations from March 2024: one regarding a defective fire escape dropladder and another concerning a defective self-closing door at the recycling room. The property has a history of rodent problems, with multiple DOHMH complaints recorded between 2019 and 2023, though more recent inspections show compliance. Electrical safety has been a concern, with multiple violations in 2022 regarding missing electrical outlet covers across all five stories, though these were certified as corrected.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units. While there were several violations issued in 2023 for failure to file external low pressure inspection reports (covering 2018-2022), these were subsequently dismissed in 2024. The building has undergone various permitted work between 2018 and 2022, including plumbing and electrical work, though specific details of these improvements are not provided in the data. Regular tenant safety inspections conducted by the Department of Buildings between 2018 and 2022 have generally resulted in "No Violation Warranted For Complaint At Time Of Inspection" or "Compliance Inspection Performed" dispositions.
