37 West 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The four-story, 10-unit building at 37 West 84th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Joshua Jacobson, has experienced recurring pest-related issues over the past several years. Most recently, in December 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations indicating rodent activity on the property, necessitating follow-up inspections.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections since 2018, with recent inspections in early 2025 showing mixed results - with both rat activity detected and bait applied in January 2025, though a subsequent compliance inspection in February 2025 resulted in a passed inspection. Between 2021 and 2023, the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required, though subsequent filings for the periods ending in 2024 show zero infested units or eradication cases.

While the building has passed multiple inspections for both rodent presence and bedbug reporting requirements, the pattern of rodent-related complaints and inspections suggests ongoing management challenges in maintaining pest-free conditions. The property, built in 1887 and classified as a Heretofore Converted Class A building, continues to be subject to periodic oversight from health authorities regarding both rodent and bedbug management.
