124 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

124 West 72nd Street is a 14-story, 46-unit residential building constructed in 1916, currently owned by West 72 St Assoc LLC. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between January and February 2025, some resulting in violations while others were unable to be verified due to access issues. The building has documented safety concerns, including four egress-related complaints from 2022-2023, with one resulting in an Oath Violation.

In 2023, an ECB violation was issued for improperly stored household items blocking stairwells, affecting multiple floors, and in 2022 there were violations regarding combustible household items obstructing exit passages. The building's maintenance history shows both improvements and ongoing concerns. In 2019-2020, multiple violations related to lead paint hazards, roach infestation, and window guards were documented in Apartment 11A, though many of these were eventually resolved.

Recent inspections have demonstrated relatively good pest control results, with 2024 rodent inspections passing. The building has consistent documentation showing compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2018-2025, reporting zero infested units in the past three years. Energy efficiency compliance has been a recurring issue, with violations for failure to display energy scores and submit benchmarking reports in 2022-2024. The property has undergone various permitted work including exterior and equipment upgrades from 2018-2021, though specific details of these improvements are not provided in the records.
