161 West 95 Street
A handful of records on file over the last seven years, and our model predicts a high risk of further maintenance problems in the next 12 months. A few records worth reading before you sign. Check whether they were closed out, and ask what was actually fixed.
This building has 9 recorded HPD violations, at or below the Upper West Side average of 14.1.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.
The 7-unit, 3-story building at 161 West 95th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by 94 & 95th Realty LLC, has a concerning record of maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. Most notably, there is an ongoing heat and hot water problem affecting the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints filed in September 2026, one of which remains open. The building has recently received three Class C (Immediately Hazardous) violations from September 2026, including issues with self-closing doors in the meter room, evidence of rodent infestation in the cellar, and inadequate hot water provision to Apartment 3F. The property has a troubling history of rodent problems, with four failed inspections in the past seven years and a recent pest-related complaint in August 2024.

What's in the 161 West 95 Street report
Is 161 West 95 Street rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 161 West 95 Street covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
How 161 West 95 Street's risk score is calculated
