264 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, eight-unit building at 264 West 73rd Street, owned by Manny Villa and built in 1888, has experienced several noteworthy incidents in recent years. Most concerning is a September 2024 rodent issue that resulted in departmental violations requiring follow-up inspections, and an ongoing construction lead dust complaint from May 2023 in common areas that remains unresolved as of late 2023.

In March 2023, the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though records indicate no bedbug activity has been reported in any dwelling unit since at least November 2018, with all subsequent reports (2020-2025) showing zero infested or eradicated units. The building has experienced fluctuating rodent issues, with a rat activity finding in October 2024 followed by a compliance passing inspection in November 2024.

Despite these recent rodent concerns, the building's record shows consistent efforts to maintain the premises, with multiple past inspections (2016-2023) regularly passing rodent inspections and no bedbug infestations reported during the documented period. A complaint entered in August 2023 regarding unpermitted work in occupied dwelling units could not be investigated due to access issues. The property has maintained a regular schedule of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, though the 2023 Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the annual bedbug report was noted as a violation requiring correction.
