31 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

31 West 74th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood. Built in 1889 and currently owned by Enrico Osso, this formerly converted Class A building has experienced some recurring pest control issues over the years. Most notably, there were significant rodent infestation problems documented in 2019, particularly affecting apartment 4A, which had multiple violations including the presence of mice, and required repairs to various structural elements including plaster surfaces, wood floors, ventilation systems, and door fittings.

More recent rodent-related complaints were filed in early 2024, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene during these incidents showed no violations, and subsequent inspections passed with no issues. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting history from 2020 through 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, all of which have passed since 2016.

Several building maintenance violations were addressed between 2018 and 2021, including requirements for proper signage regarding floor designations and gas leak procedures in common areas, though these have since been resolved. Two complaints about illegal conversion and permit issues were filed in 2018 and 2022, but inspections determined no violations or inability to gain access for verification. The building's recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no infestation issues, suggesting effective pest management practices in recent years.
