130 East 96th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The 15-unit, five-story building at 130 East 96th Street, owned by Liane Ginsberg and built in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Between late 2021 and late 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water systems affecting the entire building (December 2021, October 2022), water supply problems (November 2022), and cooking gas issues (October 2021, December 2021, February 2022). These complaints were generally resolved promptly, with HPD inspections confirming corrections.

The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations during these periods. Rodent inspections have been consistently passed from 2018 through 2025, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in September 2018 prior to the application of bait. Recent records show the most recent violation in 2023 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though this appears to be more of an administrative nature.

In 2019, during construction activities, the building received two ECB violations related to the failure to properly distribute tenant protection notices, resulting in fines totaling $2,500, though these were resolved. The property has undergone various permitted work, with plumbing and general maintenance permits issued in 2019-2021. While there have been periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding building systems, the property has generally demonstrated compliance with necessary inspections and reporting requirements, with only one notable instance of rat activity recorded in the past six years.
