132 East 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

132 East 96th Street is a 5-story New Law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side neighborhood, owned by Laurence Ginsberg and containing 8 residential units. The building, constructed in 1920, has had relatively few significant issues over the past several years.

The most notable incident occurred in 2021 when there were complaints regarding water supply and plumbing issues, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations. This incident was properly documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints and was ultimately closed by October 2021. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2020 showing zero infested units, and the most recent filings in 2024 confirming this status.

Similarly, 132 East 96th Street has consistently passed all rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 confirming compliance. While the building had two Housing Maintenance Code Violations recorded in 2021 and 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements, these do not appear to indicate an active infestation problem, as the building has consistently reported zero infested units. The property appears to be generally well-maintained, with prompt attention to service requests and regular compliance with housing regulations, particularly regarding pest management.
