4 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

4 West 90th Street is a seven-story, ten-unit former Class A residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1889 and currently owned by Benjamin Fettaya. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the past two years (2023-2024), with multiple failed inspection attempts related to unsanitary conditions (pests), plumbing problems (including toilet and radiator issues), water leaks, and heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building. Of particular note is a cluster of complaints in June 2024 involving pests, plumbing, and water issues, all of which were closed without inspection access being granted.

The Department of Buildings has recorded several significant incidents, including three related complaints in July 2023 concerning unauthorized after-hours work and work without a permit, though these were ultimately dismissed or resolved. A $2,500 penalty was imposed in July 2023 for failing to properly notify authorities about suspended scaffolding installation. The building's history includes some concerning patterns, such as heat and hot water complaints in late 2023, and plumbing issues in 2024, though it has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through 2023, with zero reported infestations in any dwelling units.

Rodent control efforts have shown some fluctuation; while recent inspections (2024) have passed, there was evidence of rat activity in 2021, and multiple bait applications occurred during that period. Most violations and complaints have been resolved or closed, with the majority being categorized as non-emergency issues. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, consistently showing zero infested units over the past several years.
