156 West 94th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

156 West 94th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by 156 W 94 LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 and 2024 related to building safety and maintenance.

These violations include problems such as openings in ceilings and walls, missing fan belt guard, exposed wiring, improper boiler room door conditions, and improperly supported flue pipe, with a total penalty of $6,250 currently due. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, as evidenced by multiple filings showing zero infested units, there was a violation notice issued in March 2023 regarding the required annual bedbug report, though this was marked as closed. The property has also demonstrated consistent rodent control success, passing all rodent inspections from 2015 through August 2024, which suggests effective pest management.

The building's recent history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to the boiler system, as evidenced by a 2022 complaint about defective equipment that led to an oath violation. The most significant concerns appear to be the active ECB violations regarding various building safety and maintenance issues, which remain unresolved as of the last available data in October 2023. While the building has maintained an active bedbug reporting compliance record and consistent rodent inspection success, the outstanding violations related to building safety features and systems require attention to ensure continued resident safety and comfort.
