16 East 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

16 East 72nd Street is a 5-story, 5-unit building built in 1894 located in the Upper East Side and currently owned by 16 East 72nd Street LLC. The building has an interesting inspection history, with particularly notable patterns regarding bedbug reporting and safety compliance.

Most recently, there was an active Department of Buildings violation issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of this date. The building has experienced recurring bedbug reporting violations, with notices of violation issued in 2023, 2024, and 2021, though these appear to be primarily administrative in nature regarding the filing of reports rather than indicating actual infestations. Importantly, the most recent bedbug report filed in December 2024 covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 shows no infested or eradicated units.

The building's pest management record shows consistent rodent inspection success, passing all inspections between 2010 and 2019, suggesting good overall pest control maintenance. The property has also maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent report indicating no infestations. While the building's age (over 130 years old) is noteworthy, the inspection records suggest proactive management of both bedbug reporting requirements and general building maintenance, with the exception of the recent low-pressure inspection violation.
