74 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The five-story, 10-unit residential building at 74 West 69th Street, owned by Deborah Kasner, has faced recurring pest control challenges in recent years. Most notably, there has been a sustained rodent presence in 2025, with multiple inspections showing rat activity and bait applications between February and July 2025.

The building has a documented history of moisture-related issues, including a water leak and mold problems reported in October 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions at that time. A more serious maintenance issue occurred in October 2022 when the entire building experienced heating and hot water problems, although these were reportedly resolved promptly. The property, built in 1893 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has also shown some administrative violations, including a missed inspection certificate posting requirement in 2022 and a bedbug reporting violation in February 2022.

However, subsequent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 indicate no infested units were reported. The building has undergone regular pest control measures, as evidenced by numerous bait application records throughout 2025. Permit records show several improvement projects between 2018 and 2020, including plumbing and electrical work, though specific details of these projects are not provided in the available data.
