24 Central Park South, Manhattan, NY 10019

24 Central Park South is a 19-story, 37-unit residential building constructed in 1963, currently owned by Salvatore Catinella. The building has experienced several significant events over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, in March 2022, there was a serious worker safety incident involving a fall from pipe scaffolding during facade work, which resulted in injuries and subsequently led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations regarding safety protocol failures, though the penalties for these violations were ultimately resolved.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating one infested unit that has since been treated, following a period of zero infestations in 2023-2024. Prior to this, there were no reported infestations from 2021-2023, with only one infested unit in the 2020-2021 report. The building has undergone various maintenance and repair work as evident from multiple permits issued between 2018-2022, including plumbing and exterior work. There were also some problematic periods in 2022 related to swarm conditions and unsafe reports, though these violations were dismissed in February 2023.

A 2019 elevator violation regarding an unfiled inspection was marked as active and remains on record. The property has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012, all receiving passing results. While there have been multiple complaints logged with the Department of Buildings between 2019-2024, including issues with safety nets/guard rails and site conditions, all have been closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The building's most recent bedbug reports show active monitoring and prompt treatment of infestations when they occur, indicating attention to pest control, though the recurrence of issues suggests continued vigilance may be necessary.
