43 West 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
43 West 70th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Elena Selman. The building, classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with each instance resulting in a class A violation for failing to file annual bedbug reports, though most recently in 2024 the bedbug report showed no infested units.
More significantly, there are active violations regarding boiler inspection compliance, with a penalty of $655 imposed in December 2024 for failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, and a related complaint from April 2023 regarding the non-filing of the 2022 external low-pressure inspection that remains unresolved. The building has a history of various maintenance issues, particularly affecting Apartment 5 in 2008, where multiple violations were recorded including problems with window sashes, smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements, and electrical fixtures, though all these issues appear to have been resolved by 2019.
Between 2017-2019, the building faced violations related to inadequate front entrance lighting, which was also subsequently addressed. Noteworthy is the building's strong track record on rodent control, passing all inspections between 2014 and 2024. The most recent documented improvement activity was a plumbing permit issued in August 2018, though details of the work performed under this permit are not specified in the available records.
