154 West 92nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

154 West 92nd Street is a three-story, eight-unit residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Claudia Pollak. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past several years, with multiple rat sightings and signs of rodent activity documented between 2020 and 2023.

Most recently, in October 2023, the building passed a rodent inspection, but preceding inspections in February 2023 and August 2023 showed rat activity. The building has also faced challenges with its heating and hot water systems, with emergency complaints recorded in January 2021 regarding lack of service to the entire building, though these were resolved quickly according to tenant reports. Of particular concern are three open bedbug report violations (2024, 2023, and 2022) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

The building's mechanical systems have been under scrutiny, with active violations dating back to 2019-2023 regarding unfiled external low-pressure inspections, including a violation issued in June 2023 for failure to file the 2018 inspection. There have been various Department of Buildings complaints regarding potential illegal activities, including an illegal conversion complaint in November 2021 and plumbing work-related concerns, though these were either not substantiated or resulted in no violations at the time of inspection. While some compliance inspections have shown improvements, such as passing the most recent rodent inspection, the recurring nature of both pest control issues and regulatory violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
