173 West 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024
173 West 88th Street is a two-story, six-unit residential building located in New York's Upper West Side, owned by John Ackerman and dating back to 1891. The building has experienced recurring administrative issues over the past several years, with four consecutive open violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.
The most recent building inspection, conducted in April 2024, confirmed this ongoing violation status remains unresolved. In terms of maintenance incidents, there was a significant water leak with heavy flow documented in July 2022, which was addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development within two days of the complaint being filed.
On a positive note, the building has demonstrated consistent pest management success, passing all ten rodent inspections conducted between 2015 and 2024, including the most recent August 2024 inspection. While the building's record shows adequate response to specific incidents like water leaks, the persistent bedbug report violation pattern suggests administrative oversight rather than direct tenant safety concerns. The property is classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating a historical transition from its original building classification, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
