140 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
140 West 87th Street is a 4-unit, 4-story Class A building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Sam Sullivan and dating back to 1890. The building has experienced ongoing rodent-related issues over the past several years, with an active pattern of complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) since 2020, including multiple rat sightings and inspections showing varying levels of rat activity.
While recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 passed without violations, the pattern of complaints suggests persistent challenges with pest control. The building has also faced significant regulatory compliance issues, with multiple open violations from the Department of Buildings (DOB) regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 through 2023, as well as a 2019 violation for not submitting the 2017 boiler inspection report. In terms of bedbug management, the building has consistently reported zero infested units across all annual filings from 2020 through 2025, indicating successful pest management in this regard.
The property has maintained regular inspection schedules for both rodent and bedbug monitoring, with recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024 passing without any noted violations. The building's maintenance history shows active engagement with necessary permits, including recent work permitted in 2024. While the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and maintained basic safety inspections, the ongoing rodent-related complaints and multiple open DOB violations regarding pressure inspection filings represent the most significant concerns in the building's recent history.
