251 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

251 West 72nd Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Avery Scheiner. The property has faced recurring food safety-related issues over the past several years, with nine documented food poisoning complaints between 2018 and 2025, though all were determined by the DOHMH to be isolated incidents requiring normal schedule inspections. The most recent of these incidents occurred in January 2025.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management. Housing violations were minimal, with a single bedbug report filing violation noted in February 2022. The building's external maintenance record shows generally positive results, with consistent passing of rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, suggesting good hygiene practices.

Two building complaints were filed: one in 2021 regarding gas utility access (which inspectors could not verify) and another in 2022 regarding adjacent buildings, though both were closed due to insufficient information. The most recent health-related service requests have been documented in early 2025, with a food establishment complaint investigated by DOHMH. While the building has experienced multiple food safety incidents, it's important to note that all were classified as isolated incidents according to health department findings, and most housing oversight requirements appear to be met with minimal violations.
