108 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

108 West 69th Street is a 5-story, 11-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1886 and currently owned by Ralph Westerhoff. The building has experienced some significant maintenance issues, most notably a series of heat and hot water complaints in October 2018, which affected both individual apartments and the entire building, prompting multiple emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Since then, the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with no infestations reported in the past five years between 2021 and 2025, demonstrating effective pest management. The property has undergone several inspections and corrections, including three unresolved Class C violations in 2018 related to building security, specifically regarding an unauthorized electromagnetic locking device at the street entrance and the need for proper mechanical locking systems during power outages. More recent history from 2020 onwards shows relatively stable conditions, with the most recent bedbug report from 2025 indicating no infestations during the 2023-2024 period.

The building has successfully passed multiple rodent inspections between 2015 and 2025, suggesting good overall sanitation practices. The only notable complaint in recent years was a construction-related issue in 2020, though the inspector was unable to gain access for inspection. The building's current status appears stable, with no recent major violations or recurring issues, and the owner has consistently filed required reports and addressed violations when possible, though some historical security-related violations from 2018 remain officially unresolved in the records.
