153 West 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story Upper West Side building at 153 West 76th Street, owned by Magdalena Kos, has an 8-unit configuration and was constructed in 1886. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with multiple inspections and bait applications conducted between 2023 and 2024, suggesting an ongoing pest management response.

Most recently, in September 2024, bait was applied during inspections on both September 26 and September 25. The building's heating system has presented challenges, particularly evident during November 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the building, though inspections ultimately found no violations.

The building underwent several inspections between 2019 and 2021 that revealed no violations, including an electrical wiring inspection in December 2021 and a boiler inspection in November 2019. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all bedbug reports (most recently in July 2025) showing zero affected units. While the building has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly with rodent control as evidenced by frequent bait applications, the absence of heat/hot water issues since 2019 and the consistent zero-tolerance for bedbugs provide some reassurance about overall building conditions.
