15 West 73rd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

15 West 73rd Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building constructed in 1884 and currently owned by 15 West 73rd Street LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with three emergency complaints filed in October 2024 alone, though inspections confirmed restoration of services. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including a significant period in 2018-2019 where multiple violations were recorded in Apartment 3, including issues with roaches, water temperature, door functionality, flooring, and various wall conditions.

These violations were subsequently certified as corrected. In 2021, a bathroom tile grout issue in Apartment 2 was also documented and resolved. The building has maintained a consistent record of rodent inspections, with initial inspections generally passing up until late 2023, when rat activity was noted in August.

However, the most recent inspection in March 2024 passed. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2018, suggesting effective pest management practices. While there have been various maintenance complaints over the years, including issues with mold in 2021 and multiple instances of wall condition concerns, the building management has generally responded to and resolved these issues, as evidenced by the closure of associated violations. The most recent filings indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance, though the recent heat/hot water issues in October 2024 stand out as the most pressing current concern.
