110 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 4-story, 9-unit building at 110 West 74th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Joseph Brusco, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. The most significant ongoing concern has been heating and hot water availability, with five documented complaints between 2020-2022 regarding entire building outages. In 2021, Apartment 2A was cited for multiple violations including mold, pest infestation (roaches), defective self-closing doors, and issues with window guards and wall conditions - all of which were reportedly corrected by December 2021.

Recent inspections show the building has maintained a relatively stable environment with no active bedbug infestations reported since 2020 and successful rodent inspections in 2023-2024, though there were periods of rat activity noted in 2022 and earlier. More recent concerns include a 2023 complaint about a defective boiler that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation for unacceptable conditions in the boiler room. The building's management history shows consistent efforts to address violations, with all previously cited issues being resolved.

The property maintains regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero affected units in recent years. The building's age (built in 1887) and historical context as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure suggest ongoing maintenance challenges typical of older Manhattan buildings. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues, recent records indicate improved responsiveness to heating system repairs and general maintenance, though the October 2023 boiler room violation suggests some ongoing infrastructure challenges.
