19 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

19 West 69th Street is a 14-story, 83-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by Anna Seddio. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2022 and 2023, including a March 2023 incident involving the entire building that was initially reported as having no heat or hot water. Electrical system problems have also been documented, with complaints about lighting and outlets in early 2023, though some issues were reportedly resolved.

More recent concerns include a February 2025 complaint about unsafe mold conditions requiring cleanup, which suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history reveals periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from 2024 showing one infested dwelling unit, though previous infestations in 2021 involved multiple units. Additional infrastructure issues have been noted, including a water leak violation from 2021, problems with building entrance doors documented in 2022 violations, and bathroom-related issues in unit 906.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections from 2015 through 2025, consistently passing these assessments, which suggests active pest management practices. Building systems including elevators have been a concern, with multiple complaints between 2019-2020 about single-device service and no alternate service. There are several open violations of the Housing Maintenance Code, including issues noted in 2021 for unit 1501 regarding plaster surfaces and window frames, and a 2022 violation related to the building's front entrance door. While the building has seen various maintenance issues over the years, including multiple emergency complaints, it is worth noting that many violations have been resolved and regular inspections are maintained, though some more recent complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
