130 West 95th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

130 West 95th Street is a three-story, two-family residential building constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Ronen Benjosef. The building's recent history shows a concerning pattern of rodent-related incidents between 2021 and 2022, with multiple reports of rat sightings and signs of rodent activity, particularly during October 2021 when there were eight separate complaints in a concentrated period. While these complaints were all investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and resulted in no violations being found, the frequency of reports during this period is notable.

The most recent rodent-related complaints occurred in July 2022, with similar inspection outcomes showing no violations. The building has experienced several construction-related issues and inspections in recent years, particularly in 2024. There were three significant complaints in 2024 regarding construction matters, including concerns about falling debris, sidewalk shed conditions, and a construction enforcement work order.

Of particular note was a stop work order issued in March 2024 due to the withdrawal of the construction superintendent, though this violation was eventually dismissed in May 2024 with the necessary procedures being followed. Additionally, there was one Oath violation served in September 2022 related to sidewalk shed issues. Throughout these various inspections and complaints, the Department of Buildings consistently found no violations warranting penalties, though several formal complaints were processed through the system.
