170 East 107th Street, Manhattan, NY 10029

The 4-story converted old law tenement at 170 East 107th Street in East Harlem, owned by Derek Cohn, has a documented history spanning several years with particular attention to pest management. The building, constructed in 1915, has consistently demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing no evidence of infestation during the preceding period (November 2023 - October 2024).

This marks the fourth consecutive year (2021-2024) with zero reported bedbug incidents, following three years of similar clean records between 2018-2020, despite receiving three separate violations in 2021-2024 regarding the late filing of annual bedbug reports – all of which were subsequently closed. In contrast, the building has experienced recurring challenges with rodent activity, particularly evident over the last two years.

Most recently, in March 2025, an initial inspection resulted in a "Passed" rating, though preceding inspections in 2024 consistently documented rat activity, including two January 2024 inspections (one initial and one compliance) which both noted the presence of rats. This pattern of rodent activity appears to have somewhat diminished compared to earlier years, as the building passed all rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023. The property's maintenance record suggests attention to pest management protocols, with the filing of inspection reports and responding to violations, though the frequency of rodent activity reports indicates an ongoing challenge in this area.
