129 West 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

129 West 70th Street is a four-story, five-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Matt Miga and dating back to 1886. The building has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in March 2024, involving unsanitary conditions related to both pests and mold.

These complaints, which were processed as non-emergency and emergency Housing Maintenance Code violations, prompted inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no formal violations were ultimately issued. The building's bedbug reporting history, spanning from 2019 to 2024, shows consistent compliance with no reported infestation cases during the required filing periods, though there were three instances of violations noted regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2022 and 2024. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing without issues, following a 2020 incident of rat activity that resulted in a violation.

In 2025, there were two complaints regarding illegal work and work without a permit, both of which were investigated and found to warrant no violations. The building's maintenance history is marked by periods of concern regarding pest control, particularly in 2024, while simultaneously demonstrating proactive compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and maintaining generally successful rodent control measures. The property's age and history suggest typical urban residential challenges, with recent focus on addressing unsanitary conditions and maintaining regulatory compliance through regular inspections and reporting requirements.
