115 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The 10-unit, 4-story residential building at 115 West 74th Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Zacarias Vazquez, has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues over the past three years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with the most recent incidents recorded in June 2025 and November 2023.

These emergency situations often resulted in HPD inspections, though access to units was frequently denied, and while some cases showed restoration of services during inspections, the pattern suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building also received two violations in November 2023 related to self-closing door requirements at the main entrance and vestibule, though these were later certified as corrected. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained an exemplary record, with all bedbug reporting periods from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units.

Regular rodent inspections, conducted annually, have consistently passed from 2014 through 2024, indicating effective pest control measures. A historical violation from 1993 concerning an illegal lock at the entrance door to 1st floor Apartment A was eventually certified as corrected in 2018, demonstrating ongoing compliance with building safety requirements. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing maintenance issues through the proper channels, though the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints suggests this remains an area requiring attention.
