252 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
The five-story, six-unit building at 252 West 72nd Street, owned by Jay Shim, has been standing since 1888 and has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most significantly, there is an active cluster of violations related to high-pressure boiler inspections, with failures to file required internal and external inspection reports for multiple years between 2018 and 2021, as evidenced by eight violations issued in June 2023.
In addition, the building has consistently received annual bedbug report violations between 2021 and 2024, though these were marked as closed. A complaint filed in October 2022 regarding unauthorized work in the occupied multiple dwelling was inspected and found to have no violations warranting further action.
The building's recent maintenance history shows mixed results regarding pest management, with rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 passing successfully, while 2022 saw multiple bait applications between April and June. Importantly, the most recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulted in passing scores, suggesting some improvement in pest management. While the building has maintained basic compliance with recent inspections, the active violations regarding high-pressure boiler inspection filings represent a significant ongoing compliance issue that has persisted for several years, with violation dates ranging from 2018 through 2021.
