52 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
52 West 75th Street is a 4-story, 11-unit building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Jon Birge. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed during late 2020 and 2019, prompting inspections and violations, including a notable violation in September 2019 regarding hot water provision in 2nd floor apartment 4 and locked access to the heating system in the basement. Recent concerns indicate a rodent problem, with multiple rat sightings reported in August 2023 and inspections revealing rat activity, though subsequent inspections in March 2024 and October 2023 passed successfully.
The building underwent several construction and maintenance activities between 2019-2021, with multiple permit issuances and some compliance issues, including a violation in November 2020 for tampering with a stop-work order, which resulted in penalties. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status in recent annual reporting periods from 2019-2025. While there were several complaints regarding construction work in 2019, including illegal after-hours work, these were generally resolved through proper channels.
The building has passed recent Local Law Audits in 2024 and 2021, showing compliance with current regulations. Both the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development have conducted multiple inspections of the property, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 showing improved conditions compared to earlier reports. A notable environmental control board violation from 2021 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order was resolved with a $1,250 penalty.
