216 East 95th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

216 East 95th Street is a five-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1910 under the Old Law Tenement classification, currently owned by David Nelson. The Upper East Side property has experienced persistent rodent-related issues over the past two years, with multiple rodent complaints and inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) between 2024 and 2025, including recent violations found in March 2025.

The building has undergone several DOHMH inspections in 2025, with varying results including instances of rat activity, though some inspections have passed. The property faced significant maintenance issues in late 2020, with multiple complaints recorded between November 5-20, 2020, involving water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), ceiling paint/plaster problems, plumbing concerns related to radiators, and mold/unsanitary conditions. While most of these complaints were eventually closed without violations, one Housing Maintenance Code violation remains open as of 2020 for APT 4E regarding defective plastered surfaces and ceiling paint.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested or eradicated units. A Department of Buildings inspection in May 2020 for failure to maintain the property found no violations. While recent rodent inspections have shown some passing results, the repeated pattern of rat activity and intermittent violations suggests ongoing pest control challenges at the property.
