36 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025
The five-story, ten-unit building at 36 West 96th Street, dating back to 1897 and currently owned by Joseph Dipietro, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low pressure inspection.
While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years (from 2019 to 2025), there have been consistent violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with notices issued in 2022, 2023, and 2024 for failure to file annual reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code. The building has demonstrated generally good maintenance of basic health and safety requirements, with recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 passing successfully, though there were periods of concern in late 2018 when rat activity was noted and bait was applied on multiple occasions.
Most recently, there is an open Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint from May 2024 regarding standing water creating a puddle on the sidewalk, which remains in progress as of May 2025. The building has passed its recent rodent inspections and has maintained a consistent record of filing zero bedbug infestation cases since implementation of the reporting requirement, suggesting effective pest control measures when combined with the regular rodent inspections.
