31 West 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
31 West 70th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side, originally constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Garrett Pelton. The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past six years, with each annual report (2019-2025) documenting zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during their respective periods.
The property has experienced some concerning patterns with rodent activity, with the most recent inspections in 2024 showing rat activity in both February and July, though there were periods of compliance with no rat activity recorded in 2023, 2022, 2019, and 2018 - suggesting an inconsistent pest control challenge that may affect resident comfort. Most notably, in early 2025, the building faced a violation related to its sprinkler system, specifically citing inadequate performance, which was documented by an inspection on February 12, 2025, and resulted in an "Oath Violation Served" disposition.
The building's most recent bedbug report filing in January 2025 covered the period from November 2023 to October 2024, showing no bedbug infestations, while previous reports from 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 consistently documented a clean record in this regard. The 2025 bedbug report filing occurred approximately 7-8 weeks after the sprinkler system violation was documented, suggesting responsiveness to regulatory requirements. While the building has generally maintained compliance with health and safety regulations over the years, the combination of recent rodent activity and the sprinkler system violation represents the most significant current concerns regarding resident experience and safety.
