109 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

109 West 74th Street is a 4-story, 10-unit residential building located in the Upper West Side, constructed in 1888 and currently managed by 105-115 West 74th Street, Llc. The property has experienced recurring animal sanitation issues, particularly regarding dog-related complaints, with four such incidents reported in 2024 alone.

The building faced significant heating system challenges in January 2023, with multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though these issues appeared to be resolved following tenant reports. There was also a water leak incident in February 2019 that resulted in issued violations, along with a series of violations concerning safety and maintenance requirements identified during a February 2019 inspection, including issues with fire retardant materials, gas leak procedures, and roof-related problems that were subsequently certified as corrected in March 2019.

Recent inspections in 2024 have shown mixed results regarding rodent control, with several inspections noted as "failed for other reasons." However, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over multiple reporting years from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management protocols. The property management has demonstrated responsiveness to various building violations over the years, including an addressed fence height violation noted in July 2019 that had been exceeding the permitted limit. While the building has encountered various maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and rodent control, most historical violations appear to have been resolved, though the recent rodent inspection results are concerning.
