117 West 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

117 West 75th Street is a 4-story, 14-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Silverio Venchiarutti. The property has experienced significant compliance issues over the past two years, most notably regarding unauthorized transient use.

In September 2023, three Environmental Control Board violations were issued against the property related to illegal hotel room use in apartment #8 on the 3rd floor, including violations for improper occupancy conversion, inadequate means of egress, and lack of a required fire alarm system for transient use. These violations remain active with associated penalties of $2,530 each. The building has shown generally good maintenance regarding pest control and rodent issues, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent two annual bedbug reports (2024 and 2021), and consistently passing rodent inspections from 2015 through 2024.

However, the property has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in recent years for failure to file annual bedbug reports, with notices issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023. A recent rodent sighting was reported and investigated in June 2024, though the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations at that time. The building's maintenance record shows regular compliance with rodent inspections, having passed all such inspections since 2015, and the most recent bedbug report (February 2024) shows no current infestations or previous eradications.
