7 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 6-story, 10-unit residential building at 7 West 73rd Street on the Upper West Side, owned by Frank Arlia, has experienced several notable incidents since 2019 that potentially impact resident safety and comfort. Most recently, in 2023, the building faced a violation for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though this was ultimately dismissed. In 2019, the building was cited for a gas utility violation involving non-code compliant connections for a commercial gas dryer in the laundry room, which resulted in a $1,250 fine that appears to have been resolved.

There have been recurring issues with rodent inspections, with a rat activity finding in August 2023 being the only significant concern among generally passed inspections since then, including a March 2024 inspection that passed. Bedbug reports show one incident of infestation in late 2024, though records from previous years (2020-2023) show no such issues, suggesting it was successfully addressed. The building's regulatory history includes multiple permit issuances in October 2018 for electrical and plumbing work under job number 140813298.

Between 2017 and 2024, the property has undergone regular rodent inspections with mostly favorable results, though there was one failure for "Other Reasons" in September 2018 that has not been repeated. The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with most reporting periods showing no infestations except for the most recent case in 2024. A violation in 2019 for failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation was also dismissed, indicating that while violations have occurred, many have been addressed through proper channels.
