33 West 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The 4-story, 6-unit residential building at 33 West 88th Street, owned by Joseph Lieber and constructed in 1889, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a persistent rodent problem. Between 2023 and 2025, there have been multiple documented instances of rat activity, including failed inspections in January and February 2025, and regular reports of rat activity throughout 2024.
The building has also faced significant health and safety concerns, particularly during 2024-2025, with recurring complaints about unsanitary pigeon conditions and waste. Two particularly serious violations remain open as of September 2024, related to failure to properly handle lead-based paint notifications and records in Apartment 4.
There is also an unresolved window guard safety issue reported in September 2024, and multiple citations regarding non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements dating back to 2021-2024. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of missed inspections and violations, including an active citation as of September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and a previously dismissed violation in 2019 for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. Despite the building's conversion to Class A status, these ongoing maintenance and safety issues suggest significant challenges in property management and regulatory compliance.
