32 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The four-story, ten-unit building at 32 West 96th Street, owned by Daniel Chrzanowski and constructed in 1892, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most significantly, there are currently three open violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2020, issued in June 2023. A substantial cluster of housing maintenance code violations was documented in March 2022, primarily affecting apartment 4A, including issues with mold, water damage, and multiple instances of paint/plaster deterioration across walls and ceilings.

Although some of these violations are noted as open, they may have been addressed, as there have been no recent complaints from unit 4A. The building has a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about standing water in 2022 and 2023, though inspections consistently found no violations. The property has maintained a relatively stable environment regarding pests and bedbugs, with no reported infestations in any unit since 2020.

Recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2023 resulted in passing grades, while a 2022 inspection noted a failure for "other reasons" that was not specified in the records. Historical data shows that the building has generally improved its response to pest control and maintenance issues over time, as evidenced by the absence of bedbug reports for several years and recent rodent inspection successes. However, the persistent low-pressure inspection violations as of mid-2023, which remain active at the current date, represent the most pressing compliance issue facing the building.
