154 East 61st Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

154 East 61st Street is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Dulcina Eisen. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent complaints in 2024 showing violations, though follow-up inspections in April 2024 resulted in bait being applied to address the problem.

The property has faced multiple maintenance challenges in early 2024, including emergencies related to heat/hot water and plumbing issues in January 2024, along with complaints about ceiling paint/plaster conditions, window frame problems, and pest-related concerns, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The building's record shows consistent bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent annual report (2024) indicating no infested units, following a pattern of zero infestations in previous years (2021-2022, 2019-2020).

Inspection records show a mix of results, with multiple bait applications for rodent control throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating ongoing pest management efforts. The property appears to have addressed various maintenance issues through appropriate channels, though the frequency of heating system complaints and rodent-related inspections suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The building's Age as a niche Upper East Side property (built in 1900) is notable, as is its classification as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building, which indicates its conversion from a different use to permanent residential occupancy at some point in the past.
