338 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023
338 West 72nd Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1890 on the Upper West Side and currently owned by Moises Farhat. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in early 2025, with nine documented complaints between February 3 and February 26, all of which were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
The building has an active violation related to improperly terminated fireplace chimneys (ECB violation from February 2024) and a potential inspection filing issue regarding the 2020 external low-pressure inspection. The building has faced several maintenance challenges in recent years, including two sets of active violations in late 2023/early 2024 concerning pest control and building safety systems. These issues were primarily concentrated between late 2023 and 2024, including problems with door self-closing mechanisms, a handrail safety concern, and a rodent infestation in Apartment 1 that was documented but not certified as abated.
While the property underwent rodent inspections in 2019, 2020, and 2021 that passed, there were active rodent issues noted in 2021 and 2022. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021 to 2024 shows no documented infestations. The Department of Buildings records show a boiler-related violation from 2024 and a sidewalk shed complaint from 2021, though most recent inspections have not yielded significant new violations.
