146 West 79th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

This 6-story New Law Tenement building, located at 146 West 79th Street in the Upper West Side, was constructed in 1926 and contains 24 units. The property, currently owned by Jeffrey Manocherian, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging between December 2021 and March 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance problems including plumbing issues (sink, bathtub/shower, and toilet), electrical faults (lighting and outlet/switch), and unsanitary conditions (pests and mold). All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), but notably, no violations were issued in any of these cases.

More recent inspections from December 2023 revealed multiple violations related to self-closing doors throughout the building, including in apartments 3D, 5C, and 6C, as well as in the boiler room and various common areas. These violations, categorized as Class C, were certified for correction in January 2024. The building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbugs, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Furthermore, the property has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2016 and 2024, demonstrating consistent pest management. Historical complaints from 2019 regarding construction work and elevator service were closed without violations being warranted. While there have been various maintenance issues over the years, the building's overall record shows regular inspections, prompt attention to most complaints, and no recurring infestations of pests, though the recent door compliance issues represent the most current maintenance concerns as of December 2023.
