42 East 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

42 East 73rd Street is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1886 and currently owned by 73 Tenants Corp. The building has maintained a solid record regarding pest control, with no documented instances of bedbug infestations or eradications reported in any of the five consecutive annual bedbug reports filed between 2020 and 2025.

Regular rodent inspections from 2010 through 2019 consistently passed without issue. The building experienced one notable violation in 2023 and 2021 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report with HPD, though both violations were ultimately closed. A gas utility referral complaint was recorded in October 2019, but the inspector was unable to gain access to the unit during the second final attempt, and this issue was closed.

Additionally, there was a DOB violation issued in October 2020 that was dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent reports showing the defect had been corrected. A permit for plumbing work was issued in June 2020. While the building's overall record shows periodic administrative oversights and routine maintenance matters, there have been no significant safety violations or persistent pest problems, indicating generally responsive management to regulatory requirements.
