252 West 102nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10025

The six-story, five-unit apartment building at 252 West 102nd Street, owned by Nick Krafft and built in 1899, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the active violation issued in June 2023 regarding the failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building had a cluster of complaints in October 2021 related to unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling, though inspections either found no violations or the inspectors were unable to gain access.

While there was a rat sighting reported in September 2022, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found no violations during their inspection. The property has maintained a mixed record in terms of rodent inspections. While many inspections from 2017 through 2019 showed no issues, there were periods of rat activity noted in 2022 (May) and 2023 (June).

However, the most recent inspections in 2024 (October) and 2023 (September) passed without any noted violations. Interestingly, the building has consistently reported zero instances of bedbug infestations in their annual filings from 2020 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. The building's permit history shows at least two permits were issued in August 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
