257 West 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, two-unit building at 257 West 70th Street, owned by Rose Fiordalisi LLC, has experienced consistent regulatory scrutiny over the past several years, with particularly notable issues related to pest management compliance. Since 2021, the building has accumulated four consecutive open violations (2021-2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated under NYC Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

Most recently, in April 2023, an open Department of Buildings violation was issued regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection, indicating potential safety maintenance oversights. The building's rodent inspection history presents a mixed picture, showing both compliance and previous challenges.

In 2022, there were two instances of rat activity detected in April and May, while more recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulted in "Passed" findings, suggesting improvements in pest management. A review of earlier years (2015-2021) shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, with all results indicating no significant rodent presence. The building, constructed in 1895, has endured typical urban challenges of its age, but the persistent bedbug reporting violations and the recent low-pressure inspection oversight warrant particular attention in evaluating the property's maintenance history.
