264 West 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

264 West 77th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Alex Henderson. The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past several years, with the most recent issue being an open complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions filed in January 2025. A window frame violation was documented in August 2024 (Apartment 9), and there is a notable history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 (May and August) confirming continued presence.

The building has faced multiple infrastructure and safety concerns, particularly in 2021, when violations were recorded for mold conditions, water leaks, and ceiling/paint issues. Apartment 9 has been the focus of several specific violations, including broken window mechanisms, mold, and issues with smoke detectors, all of which were eventually closed through repairs or corrections. The building's maintenance history shows efforts to address issues through various permits and repairs, with work being performed under several issued permits in 2019, including plumbing and electrical work. Notably, there was a gas utility referral complaint in 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last five annual filings from 2019-2024. A Department of Buildings violation from 2023 was dismissed regarding failure to file an external low-pressure inspection from 2019. While many previous violations have been resolved through inspections and repairs, the persistent nature of rodent issues and the recent open complaint about garbage storage suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent inspections also indicate periodic rat activity, suggesting that pest control measures may require continued attention.
