331 West 84th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

331 West 84th Street is a 5-story, 5-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1894 and currently owned by Carole Ferrara. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, with particular concern regarding its boiler system and rodent management. Most notably, there are two active violations related to boiler inspections - one for failing to file the 2022 External Low Pressure Inspection and another for not submitting the 2017 Boiler Inspection Report.

The property has an active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2020, citing issues with the chimney cleanout and boiler room signage, though this appears to have been addressed as there is no balance due. The building faced significant rodent infestation challenges in 2019, with multiple 311 complaints and several inspections showing rat activity, though subsequent inspections from 2022 to 2024 have passed. While there were three rodent-related complaints in 2019 (two for signs of rodents and one for a rat sighting), recent records indicate successful management of this issue, with the most recent rodent inspection in July 2024 passing without incidents.

The building's bedbug history appears to be entirely clean, with no reported infestations from the 2017-2024 reporting periods. The property has obtained various permits over the years, with the most recent permit issued in February 2021 for work classified as EW (presumably exterior work). While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly with the boiler system and initial rodent problems in 2019, recent inspections suggest improved conditions. The active violations related to boiler inspections for both 2017 and 2022 remain a point of concern, though the building has generally maintained compliance with other health and safety inspections in more recent years.
