125 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

125 West 78th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in the Upper West Side, built in 1886 and currently owned by Divya Rashad. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance over the past four years, with open violations noted in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These ongoing violations, while mostly administrative in nature, suggest a pattern of non-compliance with basic housing requirements. The property has also faced several challenges with rodent management, particularly evident in 2021 when multiple bait applications were required, though inspections subsequently passed.

More recently, while an initial rat activity report was noted in September 2023, subsequent inspections in 2024 and late 2023 yielded passing results, indicating some improvement in pest management. The building's rodent inspection history shows a mix of both pest activity and successful management, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 passing without any noted issues. The persistence of both bedbug reporting violations and the building's historical rodent activity, particularly in 2021, are notable aspects of the building's recent maintenance history, though there appears to be some improvement in rodent management as of 2024.
