31 West 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

This four-story, four-unit building at 31 West 84th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Mitchell Banchik, was constructed in 1887 and has experienced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning are the recurring violations related to bedbug report filings, with open violations noted in 2024, 2023, and 2022, though there was one closed violation in 2021.

The building's rodent control record shows significant challenges, with rat activity recorded in multiple inspections throughout 2021-2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 show passed results. A complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in July 2020 but resulted in no violations being warranted.

In terms of permits, the Department of Buildings issued an exterior work permit in July 2024, which follows a pattern of permit re-issuance as seen in August 2020, suggesting ongoing attention to building maintenance. The property has maintained some compliance with rodent control measures, as evidenced by bait application in December 2021 and similar measures in subsequent inspections. The building's bedbug reporting record shows no infested units from November 2019 to October 2020, and no units were listed as requiring eradication during that period, though the lack of annual report filings suggests potential ongoing monitoring issues.
