157 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

157 West 72nd Street is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1884, currently owned by Jared Minc and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A structure. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with emergency complaints filed in December 2024 (the most recent incident) and in April 2021 regarding the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in both cases. The property has shown evidence of pest issues, particularly in April 2021 when violations were documented for mouse and roach infestations in apartment 3F, though these violations remain in an open status with no certified resolution date.

The building's sanitation challenges have been documented with a January 2020 violation concerning garbage bins in the first-story public hall, which remains in open status. More recent activities include regular rodent inspections showing consistent bait application throughout 2024-2025, though initial inspections in 2024 passed without any noted violations. A gas utility complaint from September 2021 resulted in an inspection that found no violations.

The building's bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 show zero incidents of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Historical records indicate permits for plumbing (PL) and electrical work (EW) were issued in May 2019, though the specific work completed under these permits is not detailed in the available records. While the building's bedbug and general pest control records are encouraging, the persistence of heat and hot water issues, along with various open violations, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have required monitoring and regular intervention.
