43 West 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

43 West 84th Street is a 5-story, 4-unit residential building in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Julian Lamb and constructed in 1889. The building has a concerning pattern of regulatory non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

More recently, in 2018, a Class B violation was recorded for inadequate exterior lighting at the front entrance, which should have been maintained from sunset to sunrise with a minimum of 100 watts. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, showing consistent adherence to pest management protocols; all inspections from 2017 through 2024 were either passed or resulted in bait application, indicating active management of rodent control measures with no significant infestations detected.

While the rodent control program appears to be effectively maintained, the ongoing failure to submit required bedbug reports over a four-year period and the previous lighting violation suggest potential lapses in building management regarding both resident comfort and safety. However, it's worth noting that these bedbug report violations, though concerning, do not necessarily indicate current infestations, as they pertain solely to documentation requirements. The building's existing violations remain open as of their most recent inspections, and no certified correction dates have been provided for these issues.
