139 West 80th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
The 10-unit, 4-story building at 139 West 80th Street, owned by Thomas Rohlman and constructed in 1893, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly during the 2023-2025 period. The property has faced persistent rodent problems, with multiple rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents reported throughout 2024, including inspections revealing rat activity in early 2025.
A significant structural concern was documented in late 2024, with the Department of Buildings issuing an active violation for failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, specifically noting severe cracks and missing sections in the decorative masonry cornice over the 1st and 3rd floor windows, with a $1,250 penalty imposed. The building has a history of heating system challenges, particularly evident in 2020, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues affecting apartments. Violations were issued in March 2020 regarding inadequate heat supply and locked access to the boiler room.
Earlier violations in 2018 related to inadequate posting of required notices and building access issues. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years (2019-2025), the current rodent situation and recent structural violation represent the most significant ongoing concerns. Regular inspections have shown mixed results regarding pest control compliance, with some initial inspections failing for unspecified reasons in 2025 and 2024, though previous inspections had shown passing results.
