43 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

This four-story, 8-unit residential building at 43 West 75th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Bari Erber, has a storied history since its 1891 construction. The building has experienced several significant issues, most notably an active violation related to occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy issued in December 2018, concerning two Class "A" apartments on the basement level, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

There was also a cluster of complaints in late 2018 regarding construction activities beyond approved plans/permits. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with consistent documentation showing no infestations in recent years, though there was one instance of infestation in 2019.

While the building has maintained a generally good record with rodent inspections - passing all but one (August 2023, which showed rat activity) since 2015 - there have been recurring administrative requirements to file annual bedbug reports, with violations noted in 2021 and 2022 for failing to do so, though recent filings from 2023 and 2024 show zero infested or eradicated units. The building has also been subjected to various Department of Buildings inspections regarding complaints about unauthorized work and occupancy issues between 2018 and 2024, though most of these investigations found no violations warranting enforcement action. A permit for construction work was issued in December 2019, suggesting some approved work was conducted during that period.
