330 East 70th Street, Manhattan, NY 10021

The six-story, 73-unit residential building at 330 East 70th Street, owned by Stephen Newman and constructed in 1957, has experienced persistent rodent issues over recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, the building received a rodent complaint which prompted an inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Although this inspection did not reveal any violations, it followed a pattern of rodent-related concerns, including multiple bait applications in 2020 and previous rodent activity indicators in 2016 and 2013. The building has undergone regular Tenant Safety Inspections in 2024, all of which found no violations, suggesting generally acceptable safety compliance. An elevator violation from 2019 remains active as of the latest records, indicating potentially unresolved issues with this critical building system.

The property has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported infestation cases in the past seven reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. While there have been a few complaints and inspections related to various building conditions between 2018-2020, including a site condition complaint in 2019 and a permit-related inquiry in 2018, most inspections have been resolved with no violations noted. The regular rodent inspections and treatments, while indicating an ongoing pest management challenge, show that the building management is actively monitoring and addressing these issues, as evidenced by the most recent rodent inspection in August 2024 passing without any negative findings.
