204 West 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

204 West 96th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, built in 1900 and currently owned by Sam Schreiber. The building has experienced several significant maintenance challenges over recent years, most notably regarding pest control and air quality. In 2024, there was a sewage odor complaint requiring DOHMH intervention, and there have been ongoing rodent control issues, with multiple bait applications recorded between late 2023 and early 2024.

The building has a history of unsanitary conditions, including multiple pest infestations in 2020 and various issues in late 2018 involving mold, damp spots, and ceiling problems, though many of these complaints were closed due to inspector access issues. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no recorded infestations in the past five reporting periods. Recent building violations include a 2024 requirement to file annual bedbug reports (currently certified as closed), and a 2020 Class C violation related to a roach infestation in apartment 4B that has not been shown as resolved in the records. Historical violations dating back to the 1990s include stairwell door issues and questions regarding a suspended ceiling alteration in apartment 1E.

Additional maintenance work was conducted in 2020, with permits issued for electrical work. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, recent bedbug reports showing zero infestations and the closure of many violations suggest some improvements in management practices, though ongoing pest control efforts indicate challenges remain.
