45 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, 14-unit transitional Class A building at 45 West 74th Street, owned by Antoinette Fuchs, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past 18 months, with six documented complaints since December 2023, including an emergency complaint in March 2025 that resulted in violations. The property has also faced multiple sanitary conditions challenges, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with three complaints between June 2024 and September 2024. Most notably, the building is currently dealing with an active construction lead dust complaint from September 2024.

Apartment 4 has been issued two Class C violations as of December 2023 for mice and roach infestations, though rodent inspections through 2025 have consistently passed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of similar issues repeating over time. In addition to the recent heat and sanitary concerns, there were complaints about pests in July 2021 that could not be inspected.

The property has maintained a positive record with bedbug management, showing no infestations from 2019 through 2024, and has passed regular rodent inspections over the years. Recent issues have included an egress complaint and a work without permit complaint in August 2024, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has a history of various maintenance issues, the lack of bedbug problems and regular passing of rodent inspections indicate some level of effective pest management.
