148 West 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The five-story, 10-unit building at 148 West 80th Street, owned by David Gagne, has a history of pest-related challenges over recent years, particularly concerning rodent activity. The property underwent initial rodent inspections from 2021 through 2025, with notable rat activity recorded in November and August 2021, as well as in February and March 2024. Most recent inspections have either shown passing results or indicated compliance with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's requirements.

The building experienced some mosquito-related issues in 2021, with a significant report of numerous mosquitoes in August of that year. Regarding bedbug management, the building had documented violations in 2021 and 2022 concerning the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code, though subsequent filings from 2023-2024 have consistently reported zero infested units, indicating effective management of this particular issue. Bedbug reports from December 2022 through December 2024 show no documented cases of infestation or reinfestation.

The property's recent inspections (most notably in January 2025) show improved conditions, with passed results on initial inspections suggesting positive progress in pest management, though there was a compliance inspection in March 2024 that noted rat activity. While the building has demonstrated periods of both pest challenges and successful interventions, the records indicate particular attention to rodent management with regular inspections and varying results over time. The pattern of inspections and complaints suggests that while significant efforts have been made to address these issues, there have been recurring instances of both rodent and mosquito presence, though recent data shows improvement in both rodent inspections and bedbug management compliance.
