156 West 95th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

Located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, 156 West 95th Street is an 8-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1885 and currently owned by Karl Woitach. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues throughout 2023 and into 2024, with multiple reports of sightings and conditions attracting rodents, including four complaints between February and November 2023 alone.

While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) conducted inspections in response to these complaints, they generally found no violations or indicated that earlier complaints had been made about the same location. However, during inspections in August and September 2024, the building was cited for "Rat Activity," representing a notable shift from earlier compliance history. The building's pest control record shows consistent attention to bedbug prevention, with no reported infestations or eradications in any of the bedbug reporting periods from 2019 through 2025.

Historical inspection data suggests that prior to the recent rodent issues, the building had maintained a stable compliance record, passing all initial inspections from 2018 through mid-2023. The most recent available data from November 2023 indicates property inspections continued, with at least one additional inspection confirming no violations. The building's age and history as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure, while typical for the neighborhood, may contribute to maintenance challenges as evidenced by the recent rodent activity reports.
