55 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

55 West 69th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Natalina Realty Corp. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with significant activity documented in 2024. Most notably, between May and June 2024, multiple reports of rat sightings were filed, with at least one inspection revealing violations requiring follow-up inspections.

While these complaints were subsequently closed, they indicate an ongoing pest management challenge. More recently, in June 2025, an initial inspection resulted in a "Passed" status, suggesting some improvement in conditions. The building's history shows consistent rodent monitoring, with all previous 311 complaints between 2018 and 2023 resulting in either inspections or closed cases.

During the same period, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested units. A solitary Department of Buildings complaint from 2019 regarding construction beyond approved plans was referred to the Department of Transportation, though it's unclear if this represented a significant issue. While the building has regular inspections and appears to be addressing pest control issues through compliance checks, the pattern of rodent complaints and violations indicates this remains an area requiring attention, despite the recent "Passed" inspections suggesting some improvement has been made.
