3 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

3 West 73rd Street is a 6-story, 7-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by William Weinberg and constructed in 1903. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in October 2019, though these services were reportedly restored promptly.

In July 2020, significant elevator safety concerns were documented, including no access to the motor room, elevator lock access issues, and missing signage on the pit access door, resulting in a $310 violation penalty, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's bedbug report submissions from 2019 through 2025 show consistent reporting with zero infested or eradicated units recorded in any filing, indicating effective pest management. Rodent inspections have shown variable results, with the most recent March 2024 inspection passing, while an August 2023 inspection noted rat activity, and an August 2023 compliance inspection also recorded similar findings.

The building's environmental control board violations, recorded in July 2020, specifically cited elevator access issues requiring corrective measures, which were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since the requirement was instituted, and initial rodent inspections from 2015 through 2022 consistently passed, suggesting recent rodent issues may be an emerging concern rather than a persistent problem. The building's housing maintenance code violations include a 2022 citation regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this appears to be an administrative issue rather than indicating active infestations.
