151 West 86th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

151 West 86th Street is a 12-story, 27-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by Bruce Bennett. The building has experienced several significant safety-related issues in recent years, with the most pressing being an active façade safety notification as of March 2023, which noted the building as "LL11 Unsafe." There have been multiple environmental control board violations related to construction safety and tenant protection between 2018-2020, including failures to maintain required tenant protection plans and unsafe removal of sidewalk sheds during active facade restoration work, though these were subsequently resolved.

In 2022 and 2023, the building failed to file required benchmarking and bedbug reports, with the bedbug violation appearing as a recent 2023 notice and the 2022 benchmarking issue being dismissed upon confirmation of submission. The building has maintained a generally positive record in terms of pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in any reporting period since 2017, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2015 through 2024.

The property has experienced various construction-related issues over the years, including a notable period in 2019-2020 involving stop work orders and multiple tenant safety inspections. The building's current bedbug reporting records for 2023-2024 show zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management procedures in place. While the façade safety issue and various historical violations warrant attention, the property's recent maintenance of bedbug-free status and consistent rodent control passing rates indicate improved management practices in certain areas, though the active façade safety notification remains the most significant current concern.
