157 East 75th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

157 East 75th Street is a 5-story Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, constructed in 1882 and currently owned by Jonathon Gargiulo. The building has faced several pest control challenges over the years, with the most significant being two documented rat sightings in late 2018 and early 2020, resulting in rodent activity findings during follow-up inspections in January and February 2020.

The Department of Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 highlight issues with bedbug reporting compliance, though these violations were subsequently closed. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, as demonstrated by the annual Bedbug Reporting filings from 2021 through 2025, showing consistent reports of zero infested or eradicated units. The property's rodent inspection history shows a mix of passed inspections and one instance of bait application in August 2019, suggesting ongoing monitoring of rodent activity.

Between 2016 and 2018, the building generally passed its rodent inspections, with only the noted exceptions in 2018 and 2020. The building currently has two active Department of Buildings violations from 2018 and 2019, though specific details about these violations are not provided in the data. While the building has experienced periodic pest control issues, recent bedbug reports indicate successful management of that particular concern, and there have been no documented rodent complaints since early 2020, suggesting improved pest management practices in recent years.
