129 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

129 West 69th Street is a three-unit, four-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1892 and currently owned by Sivan Poratronkin. The building has experienced some recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably with electrical wiring problems.

In mid-2023, there were two separate complaints about defective/exposed electrical wiring, both marked as "In Progress" but inspections on June 8 and 23 were unsuccessful due to inspectors being unable to gain access. More recently, in early 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations related to a rat sighting on the property, though it's worth noting that subsequent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passed without issue. The building's pest management history shows a significant bedbug infestation in the most recent reporting period (November 2023 - October 2024), affecting two units, though both were reportedly eradicated.

This marks the first recorded infestation since 2019, following several years of zero reported infestations between 2020 and 2022. Rodent inspections show a generally good track record, with most inspections passing, though there was recorded "Rat Activity" in March 2024. The building's mechanical systems and overall maintenance have been subject to scrutiny, with multiple complaints and inspection failures regarding electrical wiring access in 2023 being particularly notable among the building's recent history.
