234 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

234 West 74th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story brownstone building on New York City's Upper West Side, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Alina Bhatti. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, most recently reported through 311 and HPD in December 2024, affecting the entire building.

This marks the first heating complaint since 2019, when a sauna-related issue was reported to the Department of Health. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with all reports indicating zero infested units, and there have been no documented bedbug incidents requiring eradication interventions. An April 2024 Housing Maintenance Code violation notice regarding annual bedbug reporting was issued, though it appears this was subsequently addressed.

The building's rodent inspection history shows consistent passing results from 2015 through 2024, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in August 2018, which was followed by a passed inspection in September 2018. A sidewalk shed complaint was filed and investigated in March 2019, but no violations were found. While the building's overall inspection and violation history suggests generally good maintenance practices, the recent heating system issues in late 2024 warrant attention as the most significant current concern, particularly given the building's historical heating system problems through the years.
