141 West 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

141 West 80th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Thomas Rohlman. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, with significant rodent problems documented throughout 2024 and 2025, including multiple inspections showing rat activity despite bait application efforts. Recent inspections in 2025 revealed ongoing rat activity in January, February, and April, with bait applied consistently during this period.

The building has faced serious structural concerns, particularly in December 2024 when a complaint regarding building shaking and stability prompted an inspection that resulted in an Oath Violation. This was followed by an Environmental Control Board violation for failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, specifically noting severe cracks and missing sections in the decorative masonry cornice, for which a penalty of $1,250 was imposed. The property has a history of maintenance compliance issues, including a 2018 violation for removing fire stopping material from walls and ceilings affecting adjoining units, resulting in a penalty of $2,500.

During renovation work in 2018, there was also a violation for failure to provide proper dust barriers to tenants in occupied areas, though this was resolved with a penalty of $625. While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings since 2017, the persistent rodent problems and recent structural violation represent significant ongoing maintenance challenges. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has conducted multiple inspections at this address, while the Environmental Control Board violations suggest ongoing regulatory oversight is required to ensure compliance with building maintenance standards.
