59 West 94th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

59 West 94th Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Joseph Braun and constructed in 1891. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a building-wide heat and hot water problem in April 2021 that was categorized as an emergency complaint, though housing inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate further.

While there was a single reported rat sighting in October 2022 that prompted a health department inspection, the property passed that inspection and subsequent rodent inspections in August 2023 and August 2024, demonstrating improved pest control measures. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with consecutive annual filings from 2020 through 2023 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

Despite the initial rodent activity reported in April 2018 and August 2018, the subsequent inspections have consistently resulted in "Passed" ratings, indicating successful rodent control efforts. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 further confirms the property's current good standing in terms of pest management. While the heat/hot water issue in 2021 represents the most significant resident comfort concern on record, the building's overall maintenance history shows regular compliance with housing standards, particularly in pest control and bedbug prevention programs.
