127 West 85th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The four-story building at 127 West 85th Street, owned by Mary Callanan, is a converted Class A property containing 9 units in the Upper West Side neighborhood. Built in 1891, this century-old building has experienced ongoing pest management challenges over the past several years.

The most significant recent concern has been regarding rodent activity; while a rodent inspection in August 2024 resulted in a "Passed" status, prior inspections from 2022 through 2023 consistently documented rat activity, with bait applications noted in multiple instances (2020-2021). The Department of Housing Maintenance Codes (HMC) issued a bedbug reporting violation in February 2022, though this appears to have been resolved as the building has maintained a zero-infestation record in all subsequent bedbug reports from 2021-2024, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation.

The building's most recent activity includes the issuance of a permit in May 2025 (job number 124041893, permit type AL), suggesting potential recent improvements or modifications to the property. The building has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the initial violation, consistently reporting zero infested units across multiple filing periods. While the property has experienced recurring rodent issues from 2020 through 2023, the most recent inspections and actions taken (including bait applications and rodent inspections) indicate ongoing management of the pest control situation, culminating in a satisfactory inspection result in August 2024.
