113 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

The four-story, 10-unit building at 113 West 74th Street, owned by Nicola Brusco and built in 1888, has experienced recurrent heating and hot water issues in recent years, with six documented building-wide complaints between 2023 and 2025, including the most recent complaint in June 2025 which was promptly resolved within two days. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past eight years from 2017-2025.

Earlier concerns from 2018 regarding apartment 2R involved multiple violations related to water leaks and mold, though these were all certified as corrected by August 2018. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted multiple emergency inspections, particularly focusing on heat and hot water issues, with varying degrees of access to units for verification.

The building's infrastructure appears to be aging, as evidenced by the pattern of heating system complaints, though most recent issues have been addressed relatively quickly. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2014 through 2024, indicating effective pest management. A 2019 complaint regarding illegal conversion was documented but marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access." Recent violations noted in 2018 related to safety postings (carbon monoxide and gas leak procedures) in common areas were ultimately resolved, though one citation regarding the inspection certificate posting remains open as of November 2021.
