136 West 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

136 West 70th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side. Built in 1883 and currently owned by Ralph Westerhoff, this former Class B building has undergone conversion to Class A status. The property has a documented history of pest management issues, with bedbug reports filed annually between 2019 and 2025 showing consistent compliance and no infestations reported during any of the five-year periods.

The building has experienced periodic rodent-related concerns, including a rat sighting in March 2022, though subsequent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades. Most recently, inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 showed no significant rodent issues, with the latest inspection in July 2025 passing successfully. The building has had minimal serious maintenance issues, with only two notable complaints on record: a toilet plumbing issue in November 2021 (closed June 2022) and a rat sighting in March 2022 (investigated and passed).

The property has maintained regular compliance with housing regulations, including submitting required annual bedbug reports on time. Several Department of Buildings permits were issued in 2018 for various types of work, including exterior, plumbing, and equipment-related projects, though specific details of the work performed are not documented in the available data. Importantly, the building's inspection records and recent filings suggest active management of both pest control and general maintenance requirements, with no significant safety violations or recurring system failures documented in recent years.
