140 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

140 West 72nd Street is a 56-unit, seven-story residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Avi Stern. The property has several open maintenance issues as of 2025, including problems with water supply, window frames, and pest control, all of which were reported in January 2025. The building has experienced recurring food safety concerns, with three documented food poisoning complaints between 2022 and 2025, though all were deemed isolated incidents by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Earlier maintenance issues included a heat and hot water problem in December 2022 and a flooring complaint in July 2022, both of which were resolved. The building's safety and maintenance history shows a combination of resolved and ongoing issues. There was one notable violation in 2022 concerning a door self-closing mechanism in the public hallway, which was certified as corrected.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent in May 2024 showing a passing result, though there was evidence of rat activity noted in an April 2022 inspection. The building's bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2025) show a clean record with no infestations. While the property has maintained compliance with many housing codes, the recent cluster of open maintenance issues in early 2025 suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident services.
