110 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, 10-unit building at 110 West 71st Street, constructed in 1884 and currently owned by Louis Sandberg, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active ECB violation from November 2021 concerning an oil leak and ventilation problems with the HB Smith Mills steam boiler system, for which a penalty of $625 was imposed.

The building has also faced heating system challenges, with two boiler-related complaints in November 2021, one of which resulted in an Oath violation being served. While the building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program since 2019 with no reported infestations or required eradications, it has faced more recent pest management challenges. Between August and November 2024, multiple rodent inspections were conducted, revealing rat activity in August and September 2024, though the most recent inspections in October and November 2024 indicated that bait was applied, suggesting ongoing pest control efforts.

The building's records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in January 2025 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024, showing no infested or eradicated units. The property has maintained an active rodent control program, with multiple inspections and bait applications throughout 2024, though the presence of rat activity in the summer and early fall of 2024 indicates challenges in achieving long-term pest control. The building's age and history as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure suggest it has undergone significant modifications over its lifetime, though specific information about these conversions is not detailed in the available records.
