156 West 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

156 West 76th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building in the Upper West Side, owned by Sophia Magnone and constructed in 1889. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with documented complaints about pest infestations in 2020 and 2022, particularly affecting apartment 2B, which has been cited for cockroach and mouse infestations.

More recent violations from March 2023 indicate issues with mechanical ventilation systems in the kitchen and bathroom, as well as a mold condition in the bathroom ceiling of apartment 2B. The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2015, with the most recent one in April 2024 showing compliance. The building's recent history shows some regulatory compliance issues, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2023 regarding improper permit posting, with a $150 penalty.

However, the property has not reported any bedbug infestations since 2019, and all previous bedbug reports (2019-2024) show zero infested or eradicated units. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints over the years, including concerns about debris in 2022 and work without a permit in 2023, though most of these complaints were resolved without any violations being substantiated upon inspection. While some ongoing maintenance issues persist, particularly regarding ventilation systems and historical pest problems, recent inspections have generally shown improved conditions, with the most current bedbug reports indicating no infestations in the past two years.
