237 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The five-story, four-unit residential building at 237 West 72nd Street, owned by Eric Setton and constructed in 1896, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there is an active violation from April 2023 for failure to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection, and a 2021 Environmental Control Board violation related to building maintenance involving corrosion on gas pipes and a sprinkler system, which resulted in a $1,250 penalty.

The building has undergone three housing maintenance code inspections between 2020 and 2023, with varying outcomes - including a gas utility referral in 2021 that resulted in an Oath violation, a works without permit complaint in 2020 that found no violation at inspection, and a 2023 tenant safety inspection that resulted in no violations being warranted. The building's bedbug management appears to be thorough and effective, with all bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any dwelling units.

Furthermore, the building has maintained a strong rodent control record, passing all inspections from 2016 through 2024. Three permits were issued in August 2018 for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting some maintenance and improvements were conducted during that period. While the building has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly regarding gas system maintenance and external low pressure inspections, the comprehensive bedbug and rodent control measures indicate a proactive approach to pest and infestation management.
