21 Chittenden Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10033

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 21 Chittenden Avenue in Washington Heights, owned by Karen Strauss and constructed in 1926, has maintained a consistent record of addressing required health and safety compliance matters over the past several years. Most notably, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent successful inspection occurring on October 31, 2024.

While the property has experienced repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, recent filings show no active infestation cases, with the 2024 filing indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units for the period of November 2022 to October 2023. The building's health and safety record does show some historical concerns, particularly in 2019, when two separate complaints about unsanitary pigeon conditions (including waste and odor issues) were filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though both cases were closed without indication of ongoing issues.

However, since that time, there have been no further complaints of this nature or other significant health or maintenance violations recorded, suggesting successful resolution of these past concerns. The property has undergone regular inspections and filings as required by housing regulations, most recently updating its bedbug reporting requirements in May 2024, and has maintained compliance with rodent control standards, passing all inspections dating back to 2014.
