61 West 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

61 West 88th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood. Built in 1894 and currently owned by David Steinberg, this formerly converted Class A building has experienced several notable incidents over recent years.

The property has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from June 2025 showing no infested or eradicated units for the 2023-2024 reporting period, continuing a pattern of zero infestation since 2018. The building has maintained good rodent control, passing all inspections since 2021, with the exception of a rat activity finding in November 2021 which appears to have been remediated through subsequent compliance inspections. The building has faced some recurring administrative issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting violations, with notices of violation issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, though these appear to have been resolved with subsequent proper filings.

An electrical wiring complaint was logged in February 2023, though an inspector's inability to gain access prevented verification of the reported condition. The property has also undergone various improvements, as evidenced by multiple electrical work permits issued in 2018 and 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems. While the building has had its share of violations and complaints, the most recent records show consistent compliance with health and safety inspections, particularly regarding pest control and bedbug reporting requirements.
