163 East 60th Street, Manhattan, NY 10022

163 East 60th Street is a 6-story, 21-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Nando De Carvalho. The building has experienced recurring pest-related issues, with the most recent complaints appearing in March 2023, where both the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were involved, though the DOHMH inspection could not access the property. Prior to this, there was a plumbing-related complaint in March 2019 regarding water supply issues, which was investigated but no violations were found.

The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection occurring in April 2023, and no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years, with the latest filings (2024-2022) showing zero affected units. The property has experienced some access issues for inspections, as evidenced by a September 2019 complaint where inspectors were unable to gain entry. There was also a complaint in July 2018 regarding illegal after-hours work, but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection.

The building has an active permit application (as of July 2024) under review, following previous permit issuance in 2021 for alteration work. A notable point is the building's consistent record of passing rodent inspections over the years, dating back to at least 2010, suggesting that while pest issues arise periodically, they are generally addressed promptly. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with all annual reports since 2018 showing no infested or eradicated units.
