253 West 91st Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

253 West 91st Street is a 5-story, 15-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1897, currently owned by James Brusco. The property has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 passing compliance, though a rat activity report was filed in January 2025. The building has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past seven years, with all annual reports showing zero infested or eradicated units from 2018 through 2024.

Two Department of Buildings complaints were filed in 2021 - one regarding excessive debris and another concerning inadequate sidewalk shed/scaffold conditions - but both were closed with no violations warranted upon inspection. The building has received three emergency work permits between 2018 and 2021, all of which were properly issued and presumably addressed. The property's maintenance history shows a generally responsive pattern to inspections and complaints, with multiple passed inspections specifically for rodent compliance in recent years.

While there was one failed rodent inspection in February 2024, subsequent inspections in 2025 passed. The building's systems appear to be regularly monitored and addressed, as evidenced by the consistent issuance of emergency work permits and the pattern of passing inspections. The most recent rodent-related service request in February 2024 resulted in health department violations, though subsequent inspections indicate ongoing management of the issue.
