130 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, 10-unit residential building at 130 West 71st Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Michael Zimmerman, was constructed in 1883 and has undergone numerous inspections and compliance checks in recent years. Most notably, the building has multiple active violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2020, as cited by the Department of Buildings on June 20 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

The building experienced a ventilation system-related complaint through 311 service requests in 2024, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations being issued. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all nine consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infested units.

However, there was a period of rat activity documented through rodent inspections in 2022 (April and May), though subsequent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed the building passing inspections with no recorded rat activity. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from March 2023 required the building to file an annual bedbug report, though the building has since demonstrated full compliance with this requirement. While the building has had its share of violations and service requests, particularly regarding ventilation systems and inspection filings, the absence of bedbug infestations and recent successful rodent inspections may be considered positive indicators of current building conditions as of 2025.
