134 East 61st Street, Manhattan, NY 10065

The four-story building at 134 East 61st Street, owned by Yasmine Rachou, has been subject to several significant inspections and violations over the past decade, particularly between 2018-2023. Most notably, there is a recurring issue with bedbug report compliance, with open violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, indicating the building's failure to file required annual bedbug reports as mandated by NYC Housing Maintenance Code.

The building was also found to be non-compliant with external low pressure inspections in 2020 and 2021, with these violations remaining active as of June 2023. In 2019, the property experienced some construction-related issues, with multiple Stop Work Orders issued and subsequently rescinded, including complaints about access denial and inadequate housekeeping at the worksite, leading to environmental control board violations with penalties totaling $16,250.

Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections from 2010 through 2023, demonstrating good pest control practices. Multiple permits were issued in 2019 for various work, including plumbing and exterior work, suggesting active maintenance and improvements to the property. While the building has experienced several violations, it is worth noting that most are administrative in nature rather than indicative of immediate health or safety concerns, though the recurring bedbug report violations represent the most significant ongoing compliance issue.
