This is a prewar Upper West Side co-op with a clean bill of health from the city, but a noticeable pattern of rodent complaints.
This 1929 building is a co-op, with prominent NYC developer William Rudin registered as the head officer. Like most co-ops, its city record is thin because disputes are handled internally by the board. The building is active, with 14 sales in the last 12 months. Three things to know:
The city has no open issues with the building itself. The building has no open housing code violations. The handful of recent complaints filed with the city for things like heat and pests were all resolved and closed out.
Rodent sightings are a recurring theme in the complaint logs. Ten rodent-related complaints have been filed through 311. While every case was closed, a cluster of eight "Rat Sighting" reports came in during a short span in early 2025, which suggests a recurring issue.
No permits for any major work have been filed in recent years. For a building approaching its hundredth birthday, a lack of recent permits can mean major systems are in good shape, or that work has been deferred. The city's data doesn't distinguish between the two.
