143 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

143 West 75th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1891 and currently owned by Theresa Veltri. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, particularly regarding lighting and bedbug reporting.

Most notably, there was a persistent electrical lighting problem reported in November 2022 that remained unresolved as of July 2023, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection. The building has faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though subsequent filings from 2019 through 2024 show zero reported infestations. The property has undergone various construction and maintenance activities, with several permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for plumbing, electrical, and new building work.

There was a period of multiple Department of Buildings complaints and inspections in 2020-2021, including issues related to construction safety compliance and after-hours work, though most were closed with no violations warranted upon inspection. The building has maintained a good track record in recent inspections, with passing results in rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, and the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing no infestation or eradication cases. While there have been multiple violations noted in the past, records indicate these were generally addressed and dismissed, though there were some instances of failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations in 2019-2020 that were ultimately dismissed.
