46 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 4-story, 13-unit residential building at 46 West 87th Street in the Upper West Side, built in 1892 and currently owned by Moise Mizrahi, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly concerning pest and sanitation problems. Most recently, in mid-2024, there were repeated reports of unsanitary pigeon conditions affecting the property, with inspections resulting in violations and requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has also faced ongoing rodent challenges, with multiple failed inspections between 2023-2024, including one in July 2024 that was marked as a "failed for other reasons." Despite these issues, the building demonstrated compliance on a rodent inspection in September 2024, following an earlier suspension of violations from April 2024. While the building has maintained a consistent record of filing annual bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024, showing zero infested units in all filings, it did experience a significant heat and hot water outage in November 2021 that required emergency intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The property has demonstrated some variability in compliance with Housing Maintenance Codes, receiving violations in 2023 and 2024 regarding the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than reflective of an active infestation. The building's history shows a mix of passed and failed inspections across various periods, particularly concerning rodent activity, with more recent inspections showing improved compliance, suggesting some response to the ongoing maintenance challenges.
