151 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

151 West 72nd Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1923 in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood, currently owned by Zacarias Vazquez. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent complaint in October 2023 regarding the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system, which was inspected by HPD with no violations found. Between 2021 and 2022, there was a pattern of plumbing and maintenance issues, particularly affecting apartment PHB, including water leaks, problems with bathtubs/showers, sink basins, cabinets, and ceiling plaster.

Multiple violations were issued in June 2022 related to water leaks, cabinet repairs, and plaster/paint issues, all of which have since been certified as corrected. The building experienced a heat/hot water complaint in late 2021 that was addressed, and there was a brief period of rodent infestation reported in September 2021 that was subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance record shows some recurring issues with building systems, particularly the intercom/buzzer system, which has had multiple complaints in both 2021 and 2023.

However, it's worth noting that there have been no reports of bedbug infestations in the past several years, with the most recent annual bedbug report (2024) showing zero infested units. The property has passed all recent rodent inspections conducted in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting improved pest control management. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2021-2022 period, the majority of identified violations have been addressed and closed, with routine inspections showing general compliance with housing maintenance standards.
