16 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 10-unit, 5-story building at 16 West 75th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Ronald Cherney and dating back to 1892, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and inspections related to pest issues, with the most recent being a 2025 complaint that went unresolved due to lack of access. A concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues has emerged, with complaints recorded in both 2023 and 2022, though these were promptly addressed.

The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to rodent control, with inspections in 2024 and 2023 passing successfully, though there was one recorded instance of rat activity in 2019. The building has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with recent filings showing zero infested units for the 2023-2024 period. Two significant violations were recorded in 2019 regarding required postings for gas leak procedures and housing information guides, both of which were certified as corrected by March 2019.

The property has received various emergency and non-emergency complaints, including issues with cooking gas in 2022 and multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests between 2019 and 2025. While many of these issues have been addressed through HPD inspections, some inspections, including the most recent 2025 pest complaint, could not be completed due to access issues. The building has undergone regular inspections and has generally passed rodent inspections since 2019, with no recent violations related to pest management. Multiple permits for exterior work were issued between 2020 and 2022, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure.
