30 West 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

This four-story, 10-unit building located at 30 West 88th Street in the Upper West Side has experienced several concerning issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water throughout the building, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2021-2022, including significant incidents in March 2021 and April 2022.

The building has also faced persistent pest control challenges, particularly during 2021, when violations for both rodent and cockroach infestations were documented in Apartment A. While the property has maintained a zero-infested count in recent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with the most recent inspections in 2023-2024 showing enforcement action required. Additionally, the building had some door/window issues in 2021, though no violations were issued following inspections.

The property has undergone some improvements in recent years, with the bedbug reporting showing consistent eradication status from 2020 onwards, and the most recent rodent inspection (November 2024) would likely indicate some level of compliance efforts. The building's history shows regular maintenance responses to various emergencies, particularly concerning heating systems, though these recurring issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems. The Upper West Side property, built in 1889, is classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating its prior conversion to full residential use, and is currently owned by Terrence Lowenberg.
