35 West 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 35 West 89th Street, owned by Sondra Wudunn and dating back to 1895, has experienced persistent challenges with pest management and rodent control over recent years. Most notably, the building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 still remaining open.

The building has also undergone significant rodent control measures, particularly in 2022, when multiple bait applications were necessary between July and August. While the property passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, suggesting some improvement, a Compliance inspection in September 2022 had resulted in failure for "Other Reasons." More routine building maintenance concerns have been documented through two Department of Buildings complaints; a 2025 complaint regarding falling debris was inspected and found to warrant no violations, and a 2023 sweep complaint also resulted in no violations being found.

The property, converted to Class A status, has maintained its designation as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building. Although the building's age and history indicate typical urban maintenance challenges, the recurring nature of both bedbug reporting violations and rodent control issues, particularly in 2022, suggest these have been persistent concerns requiring ongoing attention.
