33 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

33 West 75th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Luigi Arlia. The building's maintenance history reveals several significant issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been ongoing concern regarding permit compliance, with an active ECB violation from August 2023 related to an expired permit (Permit #104199788) that was originally obtained in 2013 but not properly signed off within the required timeframe, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

The building has experienced regular rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 (June, July, and August) showing rat presence, though bait was applied in August 2024. While the property has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbug presence, with zero reported infestations in the past seven years (2018-2025), there have been challenges with compliance inspections, including a closed complaint in 2021 where an inspector was unable to gain access to conduct the required Local Law 188/17 Compliance inspection. The building's most recent complaints include a March 2024 allegation of illegal conversion, which was investigated on April 15, 2024, with no violations found at the time of inspection.

Permit activity is substantial, with multiple permits issued between 2018 and 2025, including recent permits for plumbing (PL) and alteration (AL) work in late 2023 through early 2025. The property's rat activity seems to have increased recently, with three inspections showing presence in 2024 compared to a better performance in previous years, where inspections in 2018, 2019, and early 2020 consistently passed with no rodent activity noted. The combination of permit compliance issues and rodent activity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though the absence of bedbug infestations over multiple years is a positive aspect of the building's condition.
