AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story residential building at 21 West 94th Street, located in Manhattan's Upper West Side and built in 1886, is a two-unit Class A building currently owned by Lisa Halasz. The property has demonstrated compliance with key public health requirements, as evidenced by its three most recent bedbug reports (2025, 2024, and 2021) showing zero infested or eradicated units, and it has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2015 and 2024. However, the building has faced recurring administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, for which all citations have been closed, though this indicates some challenges with regulatory compliance.

The building experienced a cluster of Department of Buildings complaints in late 2021 regarding potential unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, with inspectors unable to gain access during several attempts between May and December 2021. While a permit was subsequently issued in December 2021 for alteration work, it's worth noting that an after-hours work complaint in September 2024 was investigated and found to warrant no violation. A current open violation from 2018 pertains to inadequate exterior entrance lighting requirements, which remains unresolved. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a relatively stable record since 2021, with no significant health or safety violations reported in recent years, and regular compliance with rodent inspections confirming effective pest management.
