AI summary · updated June 2026

106 Morningside Drive is a nine-story, 87-unit residential building located in Morningside Heights, constructed in 1912 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, currently owned by Thomas Bailey, has experienced several significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there was a pest-related complaint in February 2023 that could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, along with a violation in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report. The building has also faced multiple violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements, with four active violations between 2021 and 2024, and a boiler inspection violation from November 2019 that remains active.

The building's rodent control efforts show a mixed record; while there have been several successful inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating compliance with rodent control requirements, there have also been multiple instances of bait application throughout 2023, suggesting ongoing rodent management challenges. The most recent rodent inspections conducted in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade. Despite these issues, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2021 to 2024 indicate no reported infestations, with zero units listed as infested, eradicated, or re-infested during this period. The property's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with both pest control and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding energy efficiency requirements, though recent rodent inspections show improvement in compliance with city requirements.
