53 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

53 West 73rd Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side, owned by Ari Sklar and constructed in 1885. The property has maintained a generally positive record over the past several years, with regular compliance on bedbug reporting showing zero infested units in the most recent five filings from 2020-2024, and consistently passing rodent inspections dating back to 2015.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues, particularly in 2021 when two separate complaints regarding wall conditions were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and an emergency complaint concerning stair conditions was also reported, though inspections did not reveal any violations in the latter case. A rat sighting was reported in October 2022, but this was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) and resulted in no violations being found.

The building received a bedbug-related violation notice in February 2022 concerning annual reporting requirements, though subsequent filings have shown full compliance with zero reported infestations. While there have been some maintenance complaints in the past, including issues with walls and stairs in 2021, these were either not accessible for inspection or resulted in no violations being issued. The property's rodent control program has been notably effective, with regular inspections showing consistent compliance and successful pest management.
