329 West 77th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

329 West 77th Street, a 16-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. The most pressing concern is an ongoing rodent problem, with the latest inspections in June 2025 and May 2025 both showing rat activity. While previous rodent inspections from 2019 to 2024 generally returned passing results, the recent findings suggest a persistent infestation.

The building's facade has been another significant concern, with an unsafe designation recorded in November 2021 that led to a $10,000 violation for failure to provide adequate safety measures. This period also saw complaints about building stability and shaking, though these were later marked as resolved. The property has undergone various renovation work, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2020 and 2021, including emergency work permits.

During construction activities in 2019, there was an incident involving a worker injury that resulted in a $2,500 violation for failure to notify the Department of Buildings. The building's management has maintained consistent communication regarding pest control, with annual bedbug reports from 2019 to 2024 showing minimal infestation history, though recent rodent issues suggest ongoing challenges with vermin control. While there were two COVID-19 related complaints in 2020, inspections determined no violations. The building has complied with most regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the resolution of various violations, though there remains one active Department of Buildings violation from September 2021 regarding swarm conditions.
