148 West 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
The 18-unit, 4-story building at 148 West 70th Street in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Michael Landsman, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's ongoing failure to comply with housing maintenance law requirements to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, resulting in four open Class A violations.
There is also an outstanding violation from 2024 regarding failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, and similar violations from 2023 and earlier years indicating systemic non-compliance with maintenance requirements. The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues, with multiple rat sightings reported in 2018, though more recent rodent inspections from 2019 through 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting improved conditions. A significant structural concern was raised in September 2018 regarding building shaking/vibration, though this complaint was closed with an "Oath Violation Served" disposition.
The property has faced penalties related to structural maintenance, including a 2019 violation for failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, particularly concerning a brick chimney. Two additional ECB violations from 2018 were issued for failure to comply with the commissioner's order and file a Certificate of Correction, with one carrying a penalty of $625. Despite these historical issues, recent records (2022-2025) show improved conditions regarding rodent inspections, with all recent inspections passing.
