142 West 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

142 West 88th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story brownstone built in 1894 and currently owned by Judy Rothman. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in March 2023, which resulted in multiple violations for the third-floor apartment (3R) including problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, heating systems, and door self-closure mechanisms.

More recent concerns were raised in September 2023 regarding cooking gas, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. The building's safety equipment maintenance has been a recurring issue, with violations for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2023, though these were certified as corrected by April 2023. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a good track record in terms of pest control, with zero bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2025) as per the bedbug reporting requirement.

The property has also passed multiple rodent inspections from 2017 through 2024, indicating effective pest management practices. The most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 was also passed, maintaining the building's pest-free status. While the property has had periodic maintenance issues, particularly relating to heating and safety systems, it has generally complied with bedbug reporting requirements and maintained pest control standards.
