32 East 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The five-story residential building at 32 East 74th Street in the Upper East Side, owned by Alfred Thompson and constructed in 1935, currently contains three units and is classified as a converted Class A building. The property has a notable history of bedbug reporting compliance, with annual filings from 2019 to 2024 showing consistently zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, demonstrating effective pest management practices.

Recent inspections completed in 2024 and 2025 confirmed the building's continued compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements. The building's maintenance record shows some areas of concern, particularly with elevator service. A 2024 complaint regarding a "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" was closed in May 2025 after two inspection attempts when the inspector was unable to gain access.

Additionally, there were three Department of Buildings violations issued between 2019 and 2022, all of which were dismissed with no specified description or disposition comments. Between 2016 and 2019, the building underwent several rodent inspections, with the initial inspections consistently passing and multiple bait applications recorded between May and July 2018. While the property has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, the regular bedbug reporting compliance and recent closure of the elevator complaint suggest ongoing management attention to building systems.
