116 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

116 West 69th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in New York City's Upper West Side neighborhood. Built in 1887 and currently owned by Rick Elezi, this formerly converted Class A property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning heating systems. The most recent heat/hot water complaint was filed in February 2025 and closed in June 2025, though HPD was unable to complete the necessary inspection.

Similar access issues were noted for a October 2023 heat complaint. The building has also faced various apartment-specific issues, most notably in 2022 when multiple violations were documented for Apartment 2A, including ceiling paint/plaster problems and plumbing issues, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has shown some concerning trends over the past few years, with repeated heating system complaints in 2020-2023, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show zero infested units.

Recent inspections in 2025 and 2024 have passed for rodent conditions, suggesting generally good pest control measures are in place. The building has demonstrated efforts to address maintenance issues when violations are issued, as seen in the resolution of 2022 citations related to water leaks and plaster surfaces in Apartment 2A. While historical records indicate various safety equipment violations in the past (including missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors), these appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by the building's clean recent violation history for such equipment. The property management has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with the most recent filings showing no current infestations.
