46 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
46 West 96th Street is a 12-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1905 and currently owned by Richard Pretsfelder. The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent control success, passing all ten initial inspections from 2014 through August 2024.
Recent housing maintenance records indicate regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent reports for 2024 and 2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units. However, there are some concerning recent violations needing attention: the building currently has active violations from June 2023 for failure to file 2021 and 2022 external low-pressure inspection reports, and there have been three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (2022-2024) related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though for all these periods, the actual bedbug reports show no infestations. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with all rodent inspections resulting in passes, suggesting effective building management in this area.
The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements through 2025, though the recent violations regarding the annual bedbug report filing suggest potential administrative oversight rather than a management failure. The most significant current concern appears to be the two active violations regarding external low-pressure inspections from mid-2023, which remain unresolved as of October 2023. The Department of Buildings violation from 2020 was resolved in April 2021, showing some capacity for addressing issues when they arise, and there is a record of permit issuance for work done in July 2018, indicating maintenance and improvements continue to take place at the property.
