52 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

52 West 69th Street is a four-story, four-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Marta Braun and constructed in 1893. The building has a substantial history of regulatory violations relating to mandatory inspections.

Most concerning are multiple active violations issued between 2018-2024 for failure to file External Low Pressure Inspections from 2018 through 2023, and other violations for not filing the 2017 annual boiler inspection report, failure to perform Category 5 inspection, and elevator-related violations. While these violations suggest some irregularity in maintenance procedures, it's worth noting that the building has consistently passed many inspections, including ten consecutive rodent inspections between 2016 and 2025, with the most recent being in June 2025. The property has also maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods from 2020 to 2023, with zero cases reported in any unit.

Recent activity includes a rodent sighting reported in May 2025, though this was promptly investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which found no violations at the time of inspection. The building has experienced some maintenance issues in the past, as evidenced by a 2018 Environmental Control Board violation related to safety equipment in the elevator system, which was resolved with a $310 penalty. Despite the active violations, the property's overall condition appears stable, with regular inspections showing consistent compliance in various areas, particularly regarding pest control and basic safety requirements.
