5 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

5 East 75th Street is a 6-story, 8-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Louise Braverman. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues throughout 2024, with multiple rat sightings and signs of rodents reported between June and July 2024, though most recent inspections in July 2024 resulted in "Passed" evaluations. The property underwent a thorough quality control process with several inspections and the application of bait, particularly during 2019 and early 2020, suggesting ongoing efforts to manage the pest situation.

While a health department inspection in June 2024 found violations that required follow-up, subsequent inspections in July 2024 passed without violations. The building's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all six annual filings from 2019 through 2024 reporting zero infested units. In late 2024, the property experienced multiple complaints regarding boiler issues and debris concerns, though inspections found no violations at the time.

A significant housing maintenance violation was recorded in February 2022 regarding the filing of the annual bedbug report, but this appears to have been resolved. The property has generated multiple work permits between 2019 and 2021, particularly for electrical and plumbing work, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvements to building systems. The combined records of consistent pest management, bedbug reporting compliance, and prompt response to maintenance issues suggest the management is actively addressing building concerns, despite the recent cluster of rodent-related complaints.
