142 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

142 West 75th Street is a four-story, ten-unit residential building located on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Built in 1891 and currently owned by Joseph Brusco, this New Law tenement has experienced several notable maintenance events over the past few years.

The most significant issue occurred in July 2018, when there was an emergency complaint regarding loss of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though this was resolved within two days according to HPD records. The building's recent health and safety record shows consistent attention to pest management, with bedbug inspections from 2020 through 2024 consistently reporting zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective preventative measures. Rodent control efforts have been more variable; while the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passed without issues, there was a period of rat activity identified in April 2022, followed by two bait application instances later that month.

The building has maintained regular compliance with required inspections, with the majority of rodent inspections between 2017 and 2024 showing no significant pest problems. The property's overall maintenance history suggests responsive management to both heating system issues and pest control, with the most serious incident being the heat/water outage in 2018, which occurred approximately seven years ago as of 2025. Seven years of bedbug reports showing no infestation and recent passing rodent inspections indicate improved conditions in these areas, though the building's aging infrastructure (dating back to 1891) continues to require regular monitoring and maintenance.
