121 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
121 West 72nd Street is a 16-story, 90-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, completed in 1926 and currently owned by Michael Plummer. The building has undergone several significant events over recent years, most notably in 2022, when a series of construction-related incidents involving suspended scaffolds and worker safety issues occurred, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $31,250.
These incidents included hazardous conditions such as unprotected lifelines, improper worker exits, and failure to notify authorities of an injury incident. The building's elevator system has been an area of concern, with two active violations from 2019 regarding failure to file required inspection/test reports, and historical issues in 2018 related to safety devices being tampered with. More recent incidents include a Department of Health complaint regarding food worker hygiene in late 2021, though this was ultimately closed without unresolved issues.
The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with zero reported bedbug infestations across multiple annual filings from 2018 through 2024, and consistently passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2015 and 2024. While there were environmental control board violations related to failed certification of corrections in 2023 and benchmarking report submissions in 2020, these were ultimately dismissed. The building's most recent permit activity includes maintenance permits from late 2020 and an elevator work permit from December 2019.
