17 West 89th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The four-story, seven-unit residential building at 17 West 89th Street, owned by Nicholas Giusti, was constructed in 1895 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A property. The building has experienced persistent issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by open Class A housing maintenance code violations in each of the past three years (2022, 2023, and 2024), all relating to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules.

This recurring violation raises concerns about the building's adherence to important pest management protocols. The property has undergone several rodent inspections over the past few years, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulting in passing grades, indicating satisfactory conditions at present. However, there were notable rodent activity issues documented in 2022, with multiple inspections (including initial and compliance checks) showing rat activity between March and May 2022, though subsequent inspections in April and December 2022 passed.

The building had one recorded 311 complaint in February 2022 concerning a rat sighting, which resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections. Historical records also show a single complaint about illegal after-hours work in January 2019, which was investigated but no violation was found at the time of inspection. Despite these various issues over the years, all rodent inspections since 2022 have passed, suggesting improvements in pest management, though the unresolved bedbug reporting violations remain a significant open compliance issue as of 2024.
