130 West 72nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

130 West 72nd Street is a 5-story, 6-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1884 and currently owned by Jacqueline Rabin. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple HPD complaints and violations. Most notably, Apartment 3 on the fourth floor has multiple open violations as of April 2024, including defective electrical outlets, light fixtures, and safety equipment (CO detector and smoke detector), as well as issues with gas supply and a defective entrance door hinge.

The building has a pattern of complaints regarding cooking gas issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2023-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with this utility. Other recent complaints have involved heating/hot water issues, window problems, and various electrical concerns, though many of these were ultimately closed with no violations being issued. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges with its systems, including a 2021 boiler-related complaint that resulted in an Oath violation, and environmental violations related to the boiler room's condition.

A gas utility referral in 2022 was marked as inspector unable to gain access. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infested units reported in recent years (2019-2024), and has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2015 and 2024. The building's permit history shows several issued permits between 2018-2019 for various maintenance work, including electrical and other systems-related tasks. While many complaints have been resolved through inspections, the persistence of certain open violations in Apartment 3 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that should be noted.
