560 West 149th Street, Manhattan, NY 10031

560 West 149th Street is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building located in Hamilton Heights, owned by Deborah Cruse and constructed in 1920 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several notable events regarding pest management and housing maintenance over recent years.

Most recently, in May 2023, there was a reported rodent sighting that resulted in health violations requiring follow-up inspections, though subsequent rodent inspections in 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicated passing results. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, with only one reported infestation in 2019-2020 which was promptly eradicated, and no subsequent infestations in the following five reporting periods. The building's inspection history shows a mixed record of compliance with housing maintenance codes, including a violation issued in February 2022 regarding the timely filing of annual bedbug reports, though this appears to have been resolved subsequently.

A complaints investigation in March 2025 regarding work without a permit found no violations warranting further action. While there have been instances of rat activity reported in 2022 and 2023, these appear to have been addressed through subsequent inspections showing compliance. The building's management has demonstrated responsiveness to pest management requirements, as evidenced by regular bedbug reporting and participation in rodent inspections, maintaining a generally stable record with prompt addressal of any emerging issues.
