156 West 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

156 West 92nd Street is a four-story, five-unit residential building owned by Mario Forte, located in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood. Built in 1900 and classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building, this property has experienced several significant maintenance and sanitation issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an open violation regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, indicating a potential ongoing pest management oversight.

The building has documented multiple plumbing and sanitation concerns, including a recent water supply complaint in October 2023 and a sewage-related issue in December 2022, both of which were classified as emergencies but did not result in violations. The property has faced persistent challenges with rodent activity, though inspections in 2024 and 2023 show "Passed" results, period. Historical data shows a pattern of rat sightings and sanitation issues, particularly between 2019-2022, with several instances requiring follow-up inspections.

While recent inspections indicate some improvement in rodent management (with results of "Passed"), the building's history shows a recurring need for pest control measures. The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in 2022 regarding a Certificate of Occupancy complaint, which resulted in no violation being found. The building's management has responded to complaints as evidenced by closure notices, though the open violations regarding bedbug reporting and the building's mixed inspection results suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance across all required health and safety standards.
