346 West 87th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

346 West 87th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1896 in Manhattan's Upper West Side, currently owned by Michelle Goldman. The building has experienced two notable pest-related incidents in recent history: a rat sighting reported to the Department of Health in September 2019, and a Housing Maintenance Code violation in April 2021 related to an overdue bedbug report. However, the building has demonstrated consistent improvement in recent years.

Following the rodent issue in 2019 and a period of heightened rodent control measures in late 2021 where bait was applied multiple times, there have been no reported rodent problems since 2021. The building has successfully passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2022 and early 2025, with the most recent inspection in January 2025 yielding a "Passed" result. The building's bedbug reporting history shows a pattern of zero infestations from 2019 through 2021, and an isolated incident in late 2024 where one unit was reported as infested, though no units required eradication.

This was an anomaly in an otherwise clean record, particularly considering the building's prior consistent zero infestation reports from 2020 through late 2024. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since the April 2021 violation, with all subsequent reports properly filed and showing minimal impact on resident units. While both rodent and bedbug issues were present in the building's history, the recent track record from 2022 through 2025 indicates effective pest management and improved overall building maintenance.
