155 West 74th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

155 West 74th Street is a 10-unit, 4-story building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1887 and currently owned by Gary Brown. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in the first half of 2024, when multiple violations were issued for apartment 3A, including problems with water leaks, heating systems, door functionality, and even reported signs of rodent infestation. Between January and March 2024 alone, there were five separate emergency heat/hot water complaints and two water leak reports.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with previous complaints in 2020 and multiple incidents in 2024. Window and door maintenance appears to be an ongoing concern, with violations noted in both 2024 and 2020. In terms of recent inspections and compliance, the building passed rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, after several years of recurring rat activity reports between 2018 and 2022.

The property has maintained a consistent record of showing no bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2020 through 2025, with all reported units being listed as "0" for infestation. Of particular note, there is an open Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, which remains active as of the last data update. The building has also passed recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2024, although there were multiple rat activity reports between 2018-2022. While the bedbug reporting shows consistent compliance with "0" infested units, the ongoing infrastructure maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems and water features, suggest persistent challenges with building systems.
