311 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

311 West 82nd Street is a 4-story, 11-unit building located in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1888 and currently owned by Greg Pace. The building has experienced ongoing rodent-related issues since early 2019, with multiple reports of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, particularly during 2019 and throughout 2020 when bait treatments were regularly applied between March and August.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) documented violations requiring follow-up inspections in January 2020, with subsequent inspections showing persistent rodent activity through 2020. However, there has been notable improvement in recent years, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and most recently in July 2024, suggesting successful management of the previous infestations.

The property has maintained an excellent track record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested dwelling units, zero units requiring eradication, and no re-infestations. These consistent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate regular monitoring and successful prevention of these pests, distinctly separate from the earlier rodent issues which, in contrast, showed multiple sightings and conditions requiring intervention. The building's recent rodent inspection passes and bedbug-free status indicate improved pest management, though the initial rodent problems between 2019 and 2020 were significant enough to require multiple baiting treatments and inspections.
