50 West 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The 123-unit, 8-story residential building at 50 West 93rd Street, constructed in 1971, has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitation challenges over the past several years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with pest infestations, particularly in apartments 2K and 6A, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations issued between 2023 and 2024 for infestations of roaches and mice. The building has also faced significant sanitary concerns, including recent Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) violations for unsanitary pigeon conditions in March 2025, sewage odors in August 2023, and multiple instances of pest-related complaints in 2023-2024.

Infrastructure and safety issues have also been documented, with active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 regarding improper gas dryer maintenance and lack of required sprinklers in the laundry room. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2018-2021, though many of these were resolved. Recent rodent inspections have shown continued challenges, with failed compliance results in 2025 and 2024, though there have been periods of passing inspections as well.

The property has maintained an active response to bedbug monitoring, with no reported infestations in recent years. While some historical violations exist regarding smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices from 2016-2018, these were resolved. The building's management company, currently listed as Westwood House LLC, has engaged in regular maintenance and repair work, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2020-2022. Recent inspections and service requests indicate ongoing monitoring and enforcement of building conditions, with particular attention required for the persistent pest and sanitation issues that have affected multiple floors and units throughout the building.
