149 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

149 West 85th Street is a five-story, 8-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood, constructed in 1891 and currently owned by Olga Markus. The building has predominantly demonstrated effective pest management over recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) and consistently passing rodent inspections since 2023.

The only recorded rodent-related incident was in November 2021, which was promptly addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, resulting in an inspection that found no violations. The property experienced a significant rodent management issue in 2022, with multiple baiting interventions and one failed inspection for "Other Reasons" in April 2022, though these efforts ultimately resulted in successful resolution, as evidenced by subsequent passing inspections in 2023 and 2024.

The building's most recent inspection in August 2024 was conducted under normal initial inspection protocols and passed without noted violations. Regular bedbug reporting forms have been submitted annually since 2019, with all showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating proactive management of this common urban pest, though the reporting pattern suggests some historical monitoring of pest issues beyond current experiences.
