45 West 68th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
45 West 68th Street, located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building constructed in 1894 and currently owned by Yehuda Cohen. The building has a notable history of permit-related violations, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2025 regarding work performed without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling.
These complaints were typically classified as "CSE: Sweep" or "Work Without Permit - Occupied Multiple Dwelling" and while many resulted in "No Violation Warranted For Complaint At Time Of Inspection" findings, there was one significant Environmental Control Board violation in 2022 for unpermitted demolition work in unit 1R that incurred a $1,250 penalty. The building has maintained regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report for the period ending October 2024 showing no infested units.
Rodent inspections conducted between 2016 and 2025 have generally resulted in passing grades, with only one failure noted in October 2018. The property has experienced some recent compliance issues, including an active violation as of April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection, and two recent illegal conversion complaints in 2025, both of which resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The building's bedbug management appears effective, as evidenced by consistent reports showing no infestations over multiple filing periods since 2021.
