136 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
The 6-unit, 4-story residential building at 136 West 72nd Street, owned by Joseph Kizner and located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, has a documented history dating back to its 1884 construction. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events in recent years, most notably a serious boiler room safety violation in April 2023 that required Oath Violation Service and resulted in a $655 penalty from the Environmental Control Board.
This violation, which has since been resolved, involved multiple safety concerns including a non-self-closing boiler room door, missing fresh air inlet duct and fire damper, improper venting of gas hot water heaters, and the absence of CO detectors. In April 2024, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation for not filing its annual bedbug report, though subsequent report filings from 2025 and previous years indicated zero infestation cases during the reporting periods.
The building's rodent inspection history shows a concerning pattern, with two instances of rat activity recorded in 2022 (April and May) but passing inspections in recent years (2023, 2024) suggesting some improvement in pest control. The property has consistently filed bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 showing no infestation cases during the reporting periods. The most recent rodent inspection in May 2024 passed, following a pattern of passed inspections from 2015 through 2021, with the exception of the two noted rat activity incidents in 2022.
