250 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The five-story, five-unit building at 250 West 74th Street, owned by Frank Brusco and constructed in 1887, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in late 2024. Most notably, there were plumbing and sewage concerns in November 2024 that were classified as emergencies, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. The building faced multiple complaints in October 2024, including three related to sewage (one classified as unsanitary), a slow water leak, and ceiling issues involving paint/plaster, with no violations found in the latter two cases.

However, these complaints did lead to documented violations for Apartment G related to water leaks and peeling paint, which were certified as corrected by December 2024. The building's recent history shows a mixture of pest control success and occasional rodent concerns. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 show zero infestations during all reporting periods, indicating effective management of this issue.

However, rodent inspections have yielded variable results: while the building passed inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024, there were documented instances of rat activity in 2018 and one in September 2023. A gas utility referral complaint from July 2022 was inspected in October 2022 and resulted in no violations. The property has maintained regular compliance with bedbug and rodent reporting requirements, though the recent plumbing and sewage issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
