140 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
140 West 71st Street is a 10-story New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, owned by Catherine Hoey and containing 80 residential units. The 1912 construction has undergone various maintenance and compliance challenges over recent years, with the most pressing current issues being two active Department of Buildings violations from 2019 related to elevator defects and the 2024 FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report filing. The building experienced multiple significant maintenance issues in 2019, including a power outage, mold problems, and rodent activity, though many of these complaints have been resolved.
More recent buildings records show improved pest control measures, with the most recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) showing zero infested units, though there was notable rat activity in late 2023. The property has faced several compliance issues regarding safety requirements, particularly in 2019 when violations were noted for missing safety notices related to smoke detectors, gas leaks, and heating system access. In 2025, the building faced complaints about illegal conversion and certificate of occupancy issues, though inspections did not result in violations.
Recent rodent inspections in 2024 have passed, indicating improved pest management, and the building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing no infestations. Multiple permits have been issued between 2018-2020 for various works, including electrical and plumbing projects, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the century-old structure. The building's recent record shows improved compliance with pest control and safety requirements, though some active violations from previous years remain open.
