59 Morningside Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10027

59 Morningside Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1987 and owned by Mikail Abdussamad. The building has experienced recurring pest management issues, with multiple documented rodent activity inspections between 2022 and 2025, though recent inspections in 2025 and late 2024 have passed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management, with annual reports from 2019 to 2024 showing zero infested units, suggesting effective pest control measures.

In early 2023, the building underwent several tenant safety inspections that resulted in stop work orders related to construction activities, though these were fully rescinded by March 2023. The building has also experienced two notable violations of the Housing Maintenance Code in 2024 regarding rodent issues, which were addressed through appropriate channels. The building's mechanical work in early 2023 resulted in three Environmental Control Board violations related to construction documentation and tenant protection plans, including a significant violation concerning fire stopping maintenance, though these were subsequently resolved. A gas utility referral complaint from January 2021 required multiple inspection attempts before access was granted.

The property has maintained active compliance with building permits, with multiple work permits issued between 2018 and 2019 for various maintenance and improvement work, including plumbing and electrical work. Recent rodent inspections show a pattern of bait application in 2024, indicating ongoing management of this issue, though the most recent inspections have passed. The building's management has shown consistent attention to bedbug reporting requirements, with annual filings showing no infestations since at least 2019. While there have been multiple health and safety inspections, most have resulted in no violations being found, suggesting generally good maintenance of the building's systems and infrastructure.
