52 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

52 West 71st Street is a five-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by William Korchak. The building has maintained a consistently clean bill of health regarding bedbug infestations over the past six years, with all nine formal bedbug reports between 2019 and 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

This positive record suggests effective pest management practices in place. The building's rodent management history reveals a more complex situation. While recent inspections from 2022 through July 2025 have consistently passed, indicating no current rat problems, there was a significant rodent situation in late 2018.

During that year, multiple bait applications were needed between September and December, following initial inspections that detected rat activity in both September and October. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 has returned to a "passed" status, indicating successful resolution of past rodent issues. The building's overall inspection record demonstrates regular monitoring and management of both bedbug and rodent issues, with particular attention paid to past concerns in 2018 and consistent compliance in recent years.
