271 West 90th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

271 West 90th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building constructed in 1897 and currently owned by John Ackerman. The Upper West Side property has experienced recurring pest management challenges over recent years, with multiple rodent-related incidents documented between 2022 and 2023, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 have consistently passed. The building has two active violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, and previously had significant maintenance issues in 2022 involving Apartment 7, where violations were issued for various safety and maintenance concerns including protruding nails, defective locks, door issues, and plumbing problems.

The building underwent three power outage incidents in April-May 2020, though no violations were issued in these cases. Notably, there remains one open violation from 2022 regarding leaky faucets in the bathtub of Apartment 7, and two bedbug report violations from 2023 and 2024 that require attention. During the period under review, the property has shown some recurring maintenance patterns, particularly involving heat/hot water issues in March 2022 and plumbing problems in February 2022.

While most recent inspections have resulted in passing grades, the building's violation history and recent bedbug reporting requirements suggest ongoing monitoring is necessary. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, passing multiple inspections in recent months, though an initial rat activity finding in September 2022 indicated previous challenges. The data also reflects the building's classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS B," suggesting a prior conversion to multiple dwelling use, and indicates the property has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years. Recent inspections have included both routine and follow-up assessments, with the building generally passing inspections, though historical violations and certain open issues point to some lingering maintenance requirements.
