31 West 93rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

31 West 93rd Street is a four-story, 34-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Deepa Teckchandani and dating back to 1900. The building has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, most significantly in 2023-2024, when construction-related issues emerged, including a violation for lack of proper control zones during construction work that resulted in a $2,500 penalty. A rat sighting complaint was filed in May 2025, though health inspectors were unable to access the property for verification.

The building has demonstrated generally good maintenance of bedbug reporting requirements, maintaining a record of zero infested units for the past five years (2019-2024). However, there was one notable rodent-related inspection in April 2022 that recorded rat activity, now seemingly addressed through subsequent passed inspections. The property has undergone various construction and maintenance activities over the years, with multiple permit filings and issuances between 2018 and 2021, primarily for plumbing and electrical work.

The Department of Buildings has received three complaints in late 2023-early 2024, two of which were found to have no violations at the time of inspection, though one complaint related to unprotected adjacent buildings resulted in an Oath Violation. The building's environmental compliance has generally been satisfactory, with the exception of one instance in May 2023 concerning failed energy benchmarking report submission, which was eventually dismissed after verification of submission. Regular rodent inspections have generally passed, with most recent inspections showing compliance.
