309 West 71st Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 6-unit, 5-story building at 309 West 71st Street in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Edmond Cohan, has maintained a generally positive record since its construction in 1896, despite some recent concerns. The most significant current issue is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the required 2018 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of now.

In June 2024, there was a rat sighting reported through 311 service, though this was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations being found - the property passed inspection. This incident marks one of the few recent non-compliance events for the building, which has otherwise consistently passed all of its rodent inspections from 2016 through 2025, including three inspections in 2024 alone (most recently in August 2024).

Of particular note is the building's exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025 showing zero units affected, zero units requiring eradication, and zero incidents of re-infestation. The building's recent maintenance pattern shows regular attention to pest control, though the outstanding violation regarding the low-pressure inspection filing from 2018 suggests some administrative oversight issues that may require attention.
