35 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The building at 35 West 71st Street is a 4-story, 2-unit residential property constructed in 1890 in the Upper West Side, currently owned by 35 71 Owners Corp. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in both 2022 and 2023 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules, though recent filings for 2023-2024 show no current infestations.

In May 2021, there was a serious safety violation related to construction scaffolding in the rear yard that resulted in a $5,030 penalty, though this was subsequently resolved. The building has maintained a generally good track record with rodent inspections, passing eight out of nine inspections since 2016, with only one instance of rat activity reported in October 2024.

The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvement work, as evidenced by multiple permits issued between 2020-2023, covering plumbing, electrical, and general alteration work. The most recent permit activity includes several permits issued in early 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts. While there have been periods requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance and temporary safety violations, the building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt response to regulatory requirements, with particular attention to rodent control showing consistent successful compliance.
