262 West 91st Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

262 West 91st Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Pilar Spraggins and constructed in 1897. The building is currently facing significant pest management challenges, with the most concerning issue being an active rodent infestation. Between February 2025 and July 2025, there were multiple inspections revealing consistent rat activity, though bait was applied in response to these problems.

A compliance inspection in March 2025 confirmed the presence of rats, and the situation appears to have required ongoing treatment throughout the first half of 2025. This pattern of rat activity is particularly notable given the high-profile nature of the Upper West Side neighborhood. Additionally, the building has experienced bedbug incidents, with the most recent annual report (2023-2024) indicating one infested unit, though this had been eradicated by December 2024.

Prior to this, there was a period of bedbug-free reporting between 2021 and 2023, making the recent infestation the first major incident in several years. The building's management has generally complied with bedbug reporting requirements, though there was a late filing in April 2024 that resulted in a Class A Housing Maintenance Code violation. Despite these pest-related challenges, the building's reporting history shows regular compliance with documentation requirements, including the submission of annual bedbug reports and response to inspection findings, indicating that management is addressing these issues through the appropriate channels.
