3 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 5-story, 10-unit residential building at 3 West 75th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Alicia Harper and dating back to 1894, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most concerning is an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, which currently remains unresolved.

The building has faced electrical safety concerns, including a defective/exposed wiring complaint in May 2024 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, and an active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2024 related to unauthorized electrical work throughout the building, with an imposed penalty of $830. Multiple complaints about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings were filed in 2023-2025, though inspectors found no violations at the time of inspection for these complaints. The building has maintained a generally good safety record in other areas, with all rodent inspections from 2014-2024 passing, though inspections noted active complaints regarding sidewalk conditions and safety equipment in April 2024 that warranted further attention.

A permit for work was issued in August 2023, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the provided data. While the building has a history of responding to various complaints and inspections, the unresolved bedbug reporting violation and recent electrical safety issues warrant attention. However, it's worth noting that the building has consistently reported zero infested dwelling units in its bedbug filings between 2017-2022, suggesting effective pest management practices, though the current reporting violation is notable.
