10 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 10 West 74th Street residential building is a 10-story, 86-unit Class A multiple dwelling constructed in 1941, currently owned by Jonathan Pollack. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns emerging in January 2025, including water leaks, door problems, and pest-related issues, all of which remain unresolved as of this date. The building has a documented history of plumbing and heat/hot water emergencies, particularly notable was a building-wide heat issue in January 2022 and individual plumbing problems in late 2024.

The property has faced challenges with pest management, particularly rodents, with 2024 showing both rat activity and the presence of pests according to various inspections and complaint records. Significant violations and compliance issues have been recorded, including multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018-2023 related to safety requirements, such as improper door closing mechanisms and missing safety notices. The building’s maintenance history shows some improvements, as recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) indicate no infestations.

The property has had several Department of Buildings complaints regarding work without proper permits between 2020-2021, though most were resolved. A critical examination report of the exterior wall condition was filed with a penalty in 2022, which remains to be fully resolved. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations since 2019 and the building follows regular rodent inspection protocols, the persistence of current open complaints as of 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
