107 West 69th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

107 West 69th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit converted Class A building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Zacarias Vazquez and constructed in 1887. The property has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, particularly in mid-2025, with the most pressing concerns being open complaints regarding mold (May 2025), wall paint/plaster issues (June 2025), and water leaks (June 2025). These problems have persisted despite multiple inspection attempts by HPD, and new Housing Maintenance Code complaints for wall paint/plaster and water leaks were opened in late June 2025.

The building has a history of various violations that have required attention, including a 2023 inspection of Apartment 1B revealing multiple issues such as defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing problems, and pest control needs. While these violations were generally addressed and certified as corrected by April 2023, a 2024 inspection did reveal an open violation concerning self-closing doors. The property's infrastructure has shown both maintenance and compliance challenges, including an active elevator defect violation from 2019 that remains unresolved as of 2025.

Recent rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with evidence of rat activity noted in May 2025, though a July 2025 inspection passed. The building has maintained a consistent record of pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years (2019-2024 reporting period). While some historical maintenance issues have been resolved, the frequency of recent complaints and inspections suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort, particularly regarding moisture-related problems and access for inspections and repairs.
