261 West 94th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

261 West 94th Street is a two-story, 61-unit residential building located on the Upper West Side, owned by Daniel Pender and constructed in 1921. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centering around pest infestations.

Two pest-related complaints were filed in 2025 (one still open as of June 2025), and there were multiple pest complaints in 2020, despite the building's bedbug reporting showing zero infested units in recent filings through 2025. The building has also experienced heat and hot water issues, with an emergency complaint filed in January 2025 that could not be inspected, though the issue was reportedly resolved. A significant cluster of plumbing-related complaints was recorded in July 2020, including multiple toilet issues and problems with bathroom fixtures like bathtubs, sinks, and basins, though these were generally resolved upon re-inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements in inspection outcomes, with recent rodent inspections (2022-2024) consistently passing. An important compliance issue was noted in February 2020 regarding unauthorized work involving a washing machine installation, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has been subject to multiple violation notices regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, which were eventually closed, and no current violations are on record as of the latest inspection dates.
